Leycesteria 'Little Lanterns'

Leycesteria is great for smaller gardens, with its bright foliage and twisting shoots. The plant’s foliage provides a long season of interest, covering almost 10 months of the year. In spring ‘Little Lanterns’ offer luscious lime green foliage and bright red shoots; in mid-summer the foliage turns to a golden yellow with pendant racemes of white flowers. In autumn, the flowers turn to deep purple almost black ornamental berries, adding vibrance to the delicate roots.
