Does anyone have any experience growing Leycesteria formosa aka Himalayan Honeysuckle?
I found the golden leaved form at a local nursery and bought it. However, I'm considering returning it for a couple of reasons.
The fact that it is from the Himalayas makes me wonder if it will withstand the heat here.
Conversely, the fact that it has become invasive in the UK and Australia concerns me. I don't want to release a menace. It makes berries that are relished by birds so it could spread easily and widely via them.
I'd appreciate any thoughts or experience?
Thanks much!
