However formosa in particular is Latin for beautiful.

Leycesteria formosa how do you propagate this plant?
Leycesteria formosa is easy to propagate. Cuttings can be taken from new growth or old growth, so long as a 'heel' is included. Break a small branch off from a bigger branch, taking its full length plus a little of the cambium from the main branch. This is called a heel. Place the cutting in compost or potting soil in a cold frame or greenhouse. In a few months it will have rooted itself. If overwintered, you will see new growth in the spring. Another option is to take a few berries from the plant in late autumn when they have dried up on the bush, and plant in a cold frame. By spring they should have sprouted.
