This hardy* Fuchsia isn't rare - lots of garden centres have them. At fist sight, they look quite good with cream/grey/green leaves and decent red flowers but in late May/early June, they have a lot of red on the leaves like this!
Catch it even earlier and the new shoots are a dark chocolate red.
So, to summarise, it offers the standard hardy Fuchsia characteristics, in leaf and flower from around June to December plus a couple of months of chocolate, red and purple foliage before that.
*Yes, it is hardy in Gloucestershire, UK but not quite as hardy as some. I lost one out of three plants last Winter.
