Title: Another wotizit
Post by: Monika on September 07, 2021, 16:44:04

I found this growing in my garden and, now, it's flowering, can someone identify it please.

It's a bit of a close up, but is it Leycesteria? I often get self-set ones pop up in my garden.

Looks like Leycesteria to me too!

Thanks so much for your replies.  I think it looks worth saving, so will be finding a suitable spot to replant it.

Thanks again!

Yes, it's quite pretty - I've a self-sown one in my hedge, and it's staying. It does get a bit woody and thin with age, so you might need to prune out the older bits every few years.

In my garden they only last a few years so I was always glad of the seedlings but none left now.
