P. manicata

Grows well here in Portland, OR. I planted mine under a large cherry and it grows up the tree. It dies back to the roots in cold winters (we're a zone 7-8) but comes back each year. Fuchsia such as F. denticulata, F. boliviana, F. vulcanica, grow here is as well. they too die back to the roots in cold winters but come back if mulched. I hope this comparison helps. We usually see some snow in winter and few nights in the 20s and maybe teens. But it usually warms up above freezing during the day. So the ground only freezes an inch or two. Hope this helps.
