Thanks for replying, Kermit. Smiling
They don't look like they were treated with PGRs since they were big plants in one gallon pots. Here is a lousy photo of the plant in its one gallon pot.

It's been a week since I bought them and now the Salvias that were sitting next to Rockin' Fuchsia may be showing symptoms. I suspect that it is a virus. The new leaves look fine, but the older leaves seem to be senescing prematurely. Also, I don't like the mottled spots that I'm seeing in these photos. Leaves normally lose color evenly when senescing but these have "green islands."

@FBTS - Any opinions on these photos, Kermit? Thanks so much!

I think that they may propagate off of the plants that they used in the trial beds the previous year rather than buying new plugs. That would give the plants more time to pick up a virus.
