This is about 4 ft high and has hollow stems which can be up to about 10 or 12 mm thick. I am not sure how it came to sit in the corner of the garden, but I like it. It is in a terrible spot and I should like to relocate it, but where and in what sort of conditions? Alan |

Looks like Leycesteria formosa aka Pheasant berry. See for example http://www.wildchicken.com/nature/ga...re_200_029.htm although the flowers on yours don't seem as red as the ones in the picture there. Yes, it does seem very pale flowered. Normally they are quite red/brown. I don't think it's too fussy about where it grows which is why it's growing so well in a "terrible spot". -- Regards Bob Hobden W.of London. UK |

UK Could it be lack of sun that is stopping the development of deep colour. It is under a bramley apple tree and is a stranger to direct sunshine. Alan |
