Flowering Nutmeg
From LoveToKnow Garden
Flowering Nutmeg (Leycesteria) - L. formosa is a distinct flowering shrub, and hardy, but much commoner in Ireland and the west than in the home counties. It is graceful in flower and form, and reaches 6 feet high in mild districts, with white flowers tinged with purple; the leafy purple bracts, succeeded in autumn by purple berries, are eaten by pheasants, and therefore it is planted in some places for covert. It thrives in various soils, and under trees. Himalayas.
