LEYCESTERIA SEEDS

The Leycesteria genus, commonly known as Himalayan Honeysuckle or Pheasant Berry, is a versatile and ornamental member of the Caprifoliaceae family. These deciduous shrubs are celebrated for their arching stems, lush green foliage, and pendulous clusters of tubular flowers in shades of white and purple, which are followed by glossy, dark purple berries in late summer and autumn. Leycesteria adds elegance and seasonal interest to borders, hedges, and wildlife-friendly gardens.

Native to the Himalayas and southwestern China, Leycesteria thrives in well-drained soils and sunny to partially shaded locations. These hardy shrubs are drought-tolerant once established and are easy to grow in a variety of garden settings. The species Leycesteria formosa is particularly admired for its long flowering season and ability to attract birds and pollinators.

The Leycesteria genus combines beauty, resilience, and ecological value, making it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking low-maintenance plants that provide year-round appeal and support local wildlife.
