1 x 2 Litre Potted Plant (KC8301)

Plant your Leycesteria in full sun or light or dappled shade, in a border, pot or woodland area, and water well. The soil should be free-draining with plenty of organic matter incorporated. If you would like to keep your ‘Little Lanterns’ compact, cut it back to 30cm in March (known as ‘stooling’). This will cause the plant to produce new, strong shoots with lovely bright foliage.
