    I suggest that this is a kind of Fuchsia.

    Definitely a Fuchsia, most likely Fuchsia Hybrida Dark Eyes. They like morning sun or all day dappled shade. Plentiful water and humidity. They can be over-wintered outside in mild climates, if you get hard frosts you might want to bring it inside for the winter. Keep it in a fairly cool place (40°-50° is ideal) and keep soil moist but not soggy.
