The blue star of South America
Native to South America, the Solanum rantonnetii charms with its clusters of small blue-violet flowers with golden centers that follow one another tirelessly from spring until the first frosts.
Fast-growing and undemanding, it climbs trellises, cascades down walls, or forms a handsome standalone shrub, rewarding full sun with a spectacular blue flowering display.
