Leycesteria formosa 'Golden Lanterns'
Pheasant Berry
zones (5) 6
|
| Description:
A splashy new plant with brightly colored golden heart-shaped leaves and
pendulous white and burgundy flowers. Commonly known as Pheasant
Berry, this gold-leaf version is a real show stopper! 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. Dark
purple edible berries taste like caramel or chocolate. It is best used
as you would a perennial or annual, mixed into a colorful border or used as
a patio container plant. |
