My zone is theoretically 8a, but here lately the winters have been acting more like 7b. I planted a F. magellanica 'Lady Boothby' last spring. It did great all summer, but died to the ground over the winter and shows no signs of being alive so far this spring.
If it doesn't come back, I would like to replace it with a fuchsia-like plant, but would like one that is more reliably hardy. (I know I'm not going to get zone 5 hardiness, but I don't need that!) I like some of the Phygelius varieties as well as the Fuchsias, but I don't know which ones might work in marginal areas. Any recommendations?
