Leycesteria 'Golden Lanterns'

I love this, I've just bought a baby one off Ebay, so pretty. Is it fast growing? do you cut it down each year? Any info/tips welcome:-)

I used to have a very similar a few years back, I think it was called Pheasants Berry, may be mixing it up with someyhing else!

Not seen this one, will see if they still have some on ebay....I prefer it to the normal one...if you know what I mean.

Yes it is fast growing Bornagain, I have the other one too with the normal green leaves and it grows just as quickly as that, this has been here around 4 years and haven't cut it back yet, its around 7ft tall, I just cut off any dead or weak looking branches in spring, hope thats right, looks ok.
Yes Carole that is another name for it,this one has lovely yelllow/gold leaves though bit different to the normal one.
Yes I prefer this colour too DD really stands out :-)

Thanks Sinbad, some people say to cut right down in spring, I thought it seemed a bit drastic. Has it suckered much or been well behaved?:-)

No its been really well behaved Bornagain, no suckers yet :-)

Oh yes, I remember you saying about this one Kathy, very nice.

:-))

I have this in my garden, I have cut it down now as I want to dig it up and put it somewhere else as it got so big it crowded out my Hybiscus, I find it needs a space of it's own. I love it so do the birds.

How big a space Lady and was it easy to dig up? :-)
