We have found rust symptoms on leaves of Fuchsia especially the variety Dark Eyes. The photos here show how the symptoms may look. Rusts are generally host specific, meaning that it would not affect other bedding plants species.

You are welcome to contact Dr. Mirza by email to learn about control measures for rust if you find similar symptoms among your plants.
