Anyone grow Fuchia magellinica as a perennial?

I think it was the Dutch Gardens catalog that I saw Fuchia magellinica - had no idea that a fuchia could be grown as anything other than a tender annual. you know, the hanging plants? These are taller and single flowers.
I did find a few websites that sell hardy fuchias but in a 4" pot which is small and would need more than 1 season to grow into itself in my way of thinking.

Anyway, anyone grow one of the perennial versions such as Fuchia magellinica and had it winter over? Z5 or 6?
Thanks
