Leycesteria formosa 'Golden Lanterns' - Himalayan Honeysuckle

Leycesteria formosa 'Golden Lanterns' - Himalayan Honeysuckle

A splashy new plant with brightly colored golden heart shaped leaves and pendulous white and burgundy flowers. Commonly known as Himalayan Honeysuckle, this gold-leaf version is a real show stopper. In the South it is a shrub and in the north it behaves like a perennial dieing back to the ground each winter. In the spring it quickly grows back and blooms all summer long. It is best used as you would a perennial or annual, mixed into a colorful border or used as a patio container plant. Plus the berries are edible and sweet!


Hardiness Zone: 6-9
Height: 3-5 Feet
Light: Full Sun to Partial Shade
