Garden flower; vivid shade of purplish red (7)

I believe the answer is:

fuchsia

(Other definitions for fuchsia that I've seen before include "Colourful flower, if such a mix is possible" , "Shrub with hanging flowers" , "Ornamental flowering plant - reddish-purple" , "Bush" , "Shrub with pendulous purplish-red flowers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
