    Hmm, If I was going to Mums, I go past it. I could call in and have a look. Most of their plants have labels.

    Could it be Fuschia microphylla?

    Could be Lizness. I'm pretty sure it's one of the small leave species fuchsias

    Thanks for all your help. Having trawled the net looking at photos of suggested plants, I'm now convinced that it is a Fuchsia. Thymifolia is the best possibility - I think it's too large for microphylla. Having said that, there is a natural hybrid between these two called F. bacillaris.

    The definitive answer will have to wait until my next visit to the garden.

    Again, thanks to you all.
