Position: Thrives in most soils in full sun or partial shade.

Pruning: Remove any weak dead or damage shoots after flowering.

Leycesteria formosa (also referred to as Himalayan Honeysuckle, Flowering Nutmeg and Pheasant Berry) is one of Ashwood’s most recommended low-maintenance shrubs. Vigorous and upright; Leycesteria can reach up to 5 or 6 feet within 10 years, making them the perfect immediate-impact plant for your garden. 

What we love about Himalayan Honeysuckle:
Low-Maintenance: These shrubs are hardy through winter, thrive in normal garden soil, and do not require regular pruning. They are even recommended for coastal gardens.
Wildlife Friendly: Nursery staff note that lots of bees have been seen floating around the white trumpet flowers and purple berries.
Long Lasting: The purple bracts enclosing white flowers hang down in the form of a tassel. These are then followed by deep purple berries, and this process is ongoing throughout the whole of June, July, August and September.
