@Marlorena @ Lyn , thanks very much. it does have bigger flowers than the fushchia I often see in hedges that have very narrow elongated flowers which is what comes up when i google search Fuchsia riccartonii..Mrs popple looks more on the money.
I was going to suggest Mrs Popple too. A good grower/survivor in my NE garden. Mine doesn’t grow to 2 meters though, perhaps one metre. I cut it right back in Spring I suppose if I didn’t prune it it might reach 2 metres.
..well, I didn't think it was Mrs Popple because when I grew it, I had 2 plants, on the south coast near Eastbourne, they never got much above 3 feet, with what I thought were larger flowers and a more dense, bushy and arching habit.. The growth and shape on yours does not remind me of that Fuchsia, especially at the base..
... 2 metres in Yorkshire surprises me but it's a long time since I had Mrs Popple and memory fades.. so.. up to you on that... you may be right..
