Hi Mark and welcome to GoY firstly if you have only just created the flower bed you need to give it time to settle, at least a week or so for the soil to not be too loose. During this time you need to water the bed to assist the settling process. To be honest living where you are and with the heat and drought you are having I wouldn't have made a new flower bed until autumn and have left to settle over winter before planting in spring.

As to your Fuchsia it is tender, which means it wont survive outside over winter. It is a semi-trailing bushy type better suited to a container that you can move into a greenhouse when the weather gets cold.
