    The label suggests it belongs to Fuchsia 'Sunray'

    but the leaves don't look quite right for that to me ... 

    The only other 'Sunray' I know of is a coreopsis ... the leaves are definitely not a coreopsis.

    I did look at the Fuchsia but as you say the leaves don't  look quite right

    I don't think the label relates to THAT plant. I might be 100% wrong .

    I agree @Hostafan1 - it seems to say variegated leaves, which those aren't. They're just a bit sickly looking  :)
    Worth re potting it @mike71. The soil doesn't look terribly favourable for it, especially if it is a penstemon [leaves do look like that] as it looks quite wet and heavy in the pic.
    Perhaps that would give it a little boost, and maybe next year it'll be happier and healthier, and you'll maybe get some flowers which will make it easier to ID  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    yes the plant i dug up yesterday and potted it up.
     i've had it for a year  and the  the plant didnt seem to be doing anything.
    my soil is sandy.
