Thanks guys..... i got the name from jacque as this self seeded itself in my garden......i didnt know what it was....had it a couple of years now....

just looked it up on here....found pics its called....Leycesteria Formosa, or pheasant berry/ eye......
thanks for your imfo sixpence and for nominating it.. : O ))

Thanks HE have just seen pic of it as a bush it has a lovely falling habit. I am having some Fir Trees removed and am looking for just this type as replacements
This is what it says - 'Green winter stems on this attractive fast-growing shrub is described as ‘cut-and-come-again’ as it can be reduced to ground level in early spring to encourage rejuvenation. Although this plant has only been lightly pruned, it is a bit thick and congested now so I will cut it back after flowering and right back in spring.
Leycesteria has long, hanging, purple-red bracts in summer surmounting racemes of white flowers followed by purple fruits in late autumn. It has a light fragrance from the white flowers. Its foliage can be quite dense and its hollow, bright green stems, not dissimilar to those of bamboo, give a good winter display. It grows to 8 foot plus and flowers at the end of this years stems'
