This fantastic shrubby plant is 2 foot high and has flowered all summer. Brilliant scarlet bright green leaves. It was bought at Hampton court flower show but I could not read the label. The gent on the stand was temporary and he said it was new. Unfortunately, I lost the catalogue when looking after the purchases. This is today's photo, so it is very hardy. Any one able to help please? I am trying to put the photo on.

Thanks Dovefromabove, clicked on advanced and rebooted, these are the photos of the plant. For me it's certainly a winner and any name or quesses would be appreciated. But it seems to be liking the conditions I have given it. Taken a cutting just in case.

Any smell to leaves or flower?
how many petals?
What's the lowest temperature it's survived so far?
It doesn't look very hardy

Thanks for the interest. No smell on leaves or flowers. The flower looks like a flared trumpet with shape of petals round the edge. It's flowered all summer as though it's an annual and I have just cut it down to keep it bushy and without wind rock.
It had so many flowers dozens - and lovely colour.
On the coast in devon it's mild, we had a few nights frosty one down to minus 2. But it's a warm climate.
