Plant ID please

Not sure if it’s clear in the pic , but it has a really smooth thick stem.

 

Is it Leycesteria formosa (Pheasant berry)?

Happy gardening!

 

Ah that makes sense, thank you. I have actually had one in a previous garden, but didn’t recognise it. It’s in a really weedy area under a tree. I’ll need to have a go at moving it I think.

 

They can be moved but also seem to dislike root disturbance so if you are doing so take as big a lump of earth and root at the same time as you practically can. I have moved some with a fairly healthy piece of root still attached and they have just refused to settle in their new spot.
Happy gardening!
