Is Fuschia 'Holly's Beauty' suitable for Australian conditions? What sort of climate does it like?

Answers
From what I've seen, Fuchsias do well anywhere the summer highs don't get above 37 deg. C, and the winter lows don't get much below -6 C. F. magellanica hybrids can take a little more frost, and F. triphylla hybrids can take a little more heat (though less frost). There are a few dodges to increase cold survival, but their isn't much to be done about heat. I confess that I don't know how 'Holly's Beauty' compares to other varieties.
