I took a cutting from a Leycesteria Formosa which has rooted successfully. As the parent shrub has been in my garden for a few years I am assuming it is hardy. At the moment it is sitting in a pot in my greenhouse. When should I plant it out? Or should I leave it to over-winter in the greenhouse? Thanks.

I think keep it in the greenhouse unless you have a sheltered spot for it. Beware as Leycesteria can grow into a lovely big shrub which seeds freely into gravel areas! No need for cuttings in the future...just pot up the baby plants annually.
