    Are you sure it's a shrub? It looks like one of the phytolaccas

    Dosent look like a hebe to me, but im no expert image
  • Wow, don't know what it is, but I want one! It isn't a hebe, I don't think. Where did you see it?
  • Hi Nutcutlet, I have no idea what it is,  I doubted it being a hebe but its definitely not a phytolaccas as I have just googled many images. 

    Can not remember where I saw it, in a St Albans garden I think

  • Well that is a convincing photo, its hard to argue with that, I think your actually right it must be a phytolacca, the google photos are rubbish image

    If it is phytolacca you need to be aware that it is poisonous to people and animals but the birds love the berries and scoff them with gay abandon and no ill effect.   This plant self seeds liberally in my garden but is easy to control and keep in bounds.
