Duke of Argyll's Teaplant Lycium barbarum
The Duke of Argyll's Tea Plant is the common name for Lycium barbarum, a deciduous shrub known for its edible red berries, commonly called goji berries or wolfberries. It's native to Asia but has been cultivated in the UK since the 18th century, gaining its common name from the 3rd Duke of Argyll who introduced it. The plant is relatively easy to grow, reaching a height of 1-3 meters, and is known for its spiny stems and purple flowers. It was lovely to see this growing wild along the roadside verge.
