Fuchsia Species, Lady's Eardrops

I live in Shelton, WA; approx. 75 miles west of Seattle, and approx. 35 miles north of Olympia. I planted this vine about 3 yrs. ago on ...Read Morethe southeast corner of my house where it gets shade for most of the day, as the tag that came with the plant said Shade, Part Shade for exposure. Well, it has only grown to about 18" high which isn't much bigger than it's original size in the 1 gal. pot it came in, and has not done much else since. Not sure what I'm doing wrong with this one, as all my other Hardy Fuchsias shrubs are doing fabulous, some in shade and some in full sun. In fact I have one that is planted about 4 ft. around the corner from it, and gets the same amount of shade. Maybe since this is a vine is requires something different; yet, instructions on the tag are no different than my other Fuchsias.

Very disappointed.
