Is there a fuschia called Loopy something?
By Rookie

It is a tiny leafed fuschia with tiny cerise flowers, very sweet, but I want to know if it is hardy.

I have a fuchsia with tiny leaves and flowers as well. It grows up each year quite tall and bushy. It has exquisite little pink blooms that the bees love, and in autumn it produces little black berries which glisten in the sunlight. This is the 3rd plant as I lost the first 2 in their first winters. I mulch this one well in the autumn and so far it's been going for 4 years. I leave the top growth until warmer weather in spring and then cut to the ground. It's in a north-facing situation, and last winter was quite hard but it has survived to delight me again this year!
