Silk Tree Nurseries specialize in large plants for instant gardens, but we do also grow a variety of tall, sculptural and unusual perennials and shrubs. 


Leycesteria formosa - Himalayan Honeysuckle

The Himalayan Honeysuckle, Leycesteria formosa, is a must for the exotic garden or unusual back border. This is a real show plant, growing to 5-6ft, possibly higher, and covered in extraordinary pendulous white and red-purple flowers in June / July. In the autumn months purple berries form on the stems, and during a mild winter, the stems can stay on all winter. We are offering lovely, large 10litre pot specimens (will be pruned back in the winter months).
