Leycesteria formosa ‘Golden Lanterns’
at Digging Dog

late July–October.

Leycesteria

Himalayan Honeysuckle

Cherished by birds and gardeners alike, these deciduous, hollow-stemmed Himalayan shrubs bestow a long lasting floral and berry spectacle that extends until frost. Undemanding in any fertile soil, Leycesteria’s tall stalks appreciate an extra thick layer of winter mulch in colder climates, where they may die to the ground, but will rapidly leap skyward in the spring.

Leycesteria formosa ‘Golden Lanterns’

A newly introduced English cultivar, ‘Golden Lanterns’ has the same tantalizing attributes as the species but with an illuminated twist. Dark burgundy bracts and berries become intriguing counterpoints to amber-tinted new growth and the lambent yellow-green foliage that promises to brighten your daytime, or even moonlight garden stroll. (PPAF).

Size: 4' 0"–6' 0" high x 4' 0" wide. Zone 6/7.
