The shrub I know of by that name is Leycesteria formosa. This is a very hardy sometimes invasive 2 metres tall shrub.

Thats what I know it as, though it is also called pheasant berry. The stem in your arrangement might make a cutting if you are lucky. They are easy to grow shrubs but as Owd says it can be invasive.
