Leycesteria Formosa 'Purple Rain' is a striking deciduous shrub, known for its profusion of pendulous blooms that adorn the branch tips from June through September. The elegant white flowers emerge from distinctive burgundy bracts, creating an opulent display. As the season progresses, these blooms give way to juicy purple berries, a favourite among garden birds. With an upright habit and gently arching stems, this shrub forms an attractive shape, ideal for adding character to wildlife areas, woodland edges, and cottage gardens, and even exotic planting schemes. It thrives in well-drained soil, in a sunny or partially shaded spot. Remarkably adaptable, it tolerates a range of soil types, including sand, chalk, and clay, and exhibits good drought tolerance. Prune hard each spring to maintain the desired size and encourage vibrant new growth. Position: Full Sun or Partial Shade. Reaching up to 2m in both height and spread, this shrub is supplied in a 3.6 Litre Nursery Pot, accompanied by growing and care instructions. Please note that images are for guidance purposes only and may vary depending on growing conditions and seasonal changes, and may not be the exact variety supplied due to seasonality.
