Leycesteria, commonly known as Himalayan Honeysuckle, is a distinctive and colourful ornamental shrub, supplied as an XL approximately 40–50cm tall established plant in a 5 litre pot. With its attractive foliage, arching stems and unusual hanging flowers, it is an excellent choice for instant gardening, providing immediate colour, structure and interest within borders and planting schemes.
Himalayan Honeysuckle is particularly valued for its eye-catching pendant flower clusters, combining white flowers with rich burgundy-purple bracts during summer. These are followed by decorative dark purple berries as the season progresses, creating a long period of interest and making the plant particularly attractive to garden wildlife.
At approximately 40–50cm tall, this is an established nursery-grown shrub offering an excellent head start over smaller young plants. Its naturally graceful, slightly arching habit makes it ideal for mixed borders, cottage gardens, informal planting and wildlife-friendly gardens, where it quickly develops into an attractive and substantial shrub.

Flowering and berry production are seasonal and plants are not guaranteed to be flowering or carrying berries when supplied.
