well now I can correctly name this plant, thanks to Andrew, a good doer at the back of a border, reaches quite a hight, mine is about six feet high and in poor dryish ground

Leycesteria formosa, common names Flowering Nutmeg and Pheasant Berry.
More likely to have been a seedling than a cutting as it self sows fairly readily.

thanks for the name, but now you mention it I have been told that before, a lesson, when you get an id, label it, cheers

I make that mistake with cuttings.
Accidentally break something off a bush ~
push it in a pot ~
it starts growing away and I haven't got a clue what it is :o)

behind foreground plant is clematis Montana Reubens, goes berserk in the spring, you can just see it making it's way up into the Ash tree, which when it gets a good grip will turn the tree pink in spring before the leaves come out
