answers on a postcard please

found this growing under some brambles thought it was pretty so who knows what it is? and whether i should have kept it or not lol

thanks in advance

 

Possibly jasmine Kaz.

 

I'd also say jasmine

 

Leycesteria???

 

I would actually go with pete on Leycesteria because of the colour and shape of the young leaves.

 

Looks like it could be Russian Vine. Just been for a quick walk an picked a sprig and it still looks like it. Will take a pic in daylight.

EDIT - Done one by flashlight - do the young leaves have this 'arrowhead' shape when unfurled?



N.B. The first 3 or 4 leaves wont look like this, but will be much broader and rounded.

 

I'd go with Leycesteria...

 

Me too - got some of that out the front -

​

this is a close up of the leaves it does look more nick's plant than the russian vine but i am no expert lol​

 

if it is this next question how do i look after it ?
