Fuchsias for tropícal conditions

I wonder if anyone can suggest any Fuchsias that will do well in a tropícal garden. The only two I have that are any good are Thalia and Marinka ( the green leaf form not the variegated ). All the others I have tried either won't flower or are very short lived.

RE: Fuchsias for tropícal conditions

Fuchsia triphylla and its hybrids. In fact they freeze to death in any climate that is not tropical.

Fuchsia boliviana is a beautiful species, especially the so-called "alba" which is really scarlet and white. It likes a cool-tropical climate.

Fuchsia paniculata is not spectacular but it is quite tropical.
