Another unidentified plant!

angieh · 28-07-2008, 11:29 AM

Due to the fact that I've done very little in the garden this year, I have yet another unidentified plant growing. I haven't got the foggiest idea where to look to start with this one. Sorry picture isn't too good - will try and get a better one later. The "shrub" is over 5 ft tall!

Any ideas?

Sorry Angie, don't recognise that one at all

That is a leycesteria, or common name peasant berry, they have bamboo type stems, cut them down to the ground in spring and they grow huge...I love them, have 2 in my garden..

Well done Moli, I've never seen that shrub before!

Can you get different colours or are they all the same? I like the colour of Angie's.

You can get them with golden leaves too, I have one of each colour, but the flowers are all the same colour...They are big shrubs though.....

One of my big ones...

Thanks Moli - you are knowledgeable! I think I might have to move it if it is as vigorous as that. Nice to know that you treasure them as good "dooers"!

That had me stumped; glad Moli knew it. Unusual flowers......
