HelloWe have moved into a bungalow & we have a lot of this growing in the garden & we would like to know if this is a weed or not?

Hi, welcome to GoY, it looks to me like Phygelius, it is sol in garen centres, it gets tubular pinky/red flowers, unfortunately it can grow a bit rampant, and is quite hard to get rid of, once it gets going, common name is 'devils tears', {that's when you're trying to get rid of it}, Derek.

It looks very like a fuchsia bush from the picture that would be nice.

I to thought it was fuchsia SG

Welcome to Goy Rose

And good luck and happiness in your new home.

Rose. Mmmm! I think as the others "Fuchsia".
Welcome to GOY :o))

Fuchsia, hmm, looking at the top picture I don't see a 'bush' but a more rampant plant spreading by rhizomes. Japanese knotweed or himalayan balsam spring to mind, especially if the soil is damp.

I have Himalayan balsam and the leaves are completly different.

I'm with Derek on this one, phygelius.

Never realised that Fuchsia and Phygelius were so alike. I think Phygelius also due to the extent of the growth.

I have to confess that my first thought was the same as Bulba.
I had a look outside at both my inherited Fuschia and the bought phygelius.
Conclusion: phygelius.
The leaves are rather lax whereas the (mostly hated) Impatiens glandulifera has a stiff leaf.
Do let us know later in the year when flowers appear.. :)

Ignore this, I seem to have posted the same thing twice...

It is most definitely Phygelius, as Derekm said right at the start. Its common name is Cape Fuchsia, and its a right pain to get rid of, I'm still struggling with it...
