Sue, thanks so much for the ID! I would have never guessed that! I'm not sure that I've ever seen a Cape Fuchsia in person before, and now I have one!
I'm hopeful that it will survive. I noticed just a few minutes ago that the little pot was inside another pot, and when I removed it, there was the name of the nursery that grew it! I'll give them a call on Monday to see if they can provide more information. The nursery is in the Spokane area, which is much colder than I am, and it was being sold as a perennial. I know that doesn't mean that it will be a perennial for me, but I have high hopes that it will do okay. I live in a somewhat warm zone compared to most parts of the state. Most people think that North central Idaho is frozen solid during Winter, but that isn't the case where I live. My elevation is only 1,750 feet, and I'm on the South facing side of a river canyon, which really helps!
The best part is that I only paid $1 for the plant, so if it doesn't make it, no big loss! I'll probably plant it up against our shop, which will provide it with extra warmth during the winter, and I'll hope for the best!
Thank you all for the help! It's truly appreciated!
