Help with plant id.........

Was at a wonderful nursery the other day. Saw an interesting looking plant. Looked at the tag, and believe it said, "something, something, fuchsia". It was listed as a perennial, groundcover, (and if my memory serves me correctly), silver-greenish foliage, and gets covered with orange flowers that hummingbirds love. I almost got it, but thought I would try to ask GW'ers first.

Curious if this "rings a bell" with anyone? And if anyone has had experiences with this plant. Sorry I can't remember the name.

Hi Flybynyte,
The only one I know of that you could describe as a ground cover is f.procumbens. The varigated variety has cream/silvery green leaves with flowers more of a yellowish colour - Kath:)

Hi fuchsiabonsailady!

Thanks for your help. The nursery I was at was out of town, so I will have to check it out when I have a chance to get back there.

I do remember seeing the picture on the tag. It did show orange flowers, and also mentioned the flowers were orange.

Thanks!
