Wow, maybe I have the wrong name? Leycesteria
???, not formosa? I live in 6b and felt confident
after my research that I was fine with the shrub in
my garden (perennially). I'm usually very careful
about zone limit because we have some wicked
winter ice and wind where I live. I'll check it out.
So sorry to get your hopes up!
As to moving, Bill, Oregon's getting darn crowded
so you bettery hurry up and get here!

I looked up Leycesteria formosa and was quite
taken with the photo--it is
gorgeous! Unfortunately it is a Zone 9-10 shrub
and couldn't survive in SW
Ohio. Guess I'll have to move.

coveted for years, is Leycesteria formosa. This
plant is incredible. It is growing on the north side
of
my house, so almost no direct light, and it's
flourishing. The leaves are very large, and frankly I
can't remember the flowers (I think they're white),
but in the fall, it has 6 inch hanging panicles of
these burgundy/blackish berries, surrounded by
red
calyxes -- WOW is all I can say. Apparently a
bird-friendly plant as well. >>
