Is this knotweed?

9 years ago

Can anyone tell me what this is? It doesn't have the zig zag stalks but they are bamboo like. The flower looks a little bit different as well - hanging white bell flower with a bit of red at the base.... any thoughts would be very welcome!! We are a bit worried!!

It's Leycesteria formosa. The berries smell like burnt caramel when crushed.
