You could try Leycesteria formosa (commonly known as "Pheasant Berry" or "Himalayan Honeysuckle"). It produces pretty good canes and it is best to cut out the flowered ones each autumn. I is an easily controlled shrub and the softbills, especially blackbirds and thrushes love the fruits, so you will eventually find little plantlets growing elsewhere as it easily grows from seed.
