Glasnevin Chilean Potato Bush, Glasnevin Potato Tree, Glasnevin Potato Vine, Solanum crispum 'Autumnale'
Reliable and fast-growing, Solanum crispum ‘Glasnevin’ (Chilean Potato Bush) is a large semi-evergreen climbing shrub that is smothered from summer to fall in large clusters of fragrant, rich purple-blue, starry flowers. Each flower has attractive contrasting, prominent yellow stamens. They give way to small, inedible, pale yellow fruits. The foliage of finely-pointed, ovate, dark green leaves will remain on the plant in mild winter areas. ‘Glasnevin’ is hardier than the species and blooms more prolifically. Well-behaved, this vigorous climber makes a wonderful companion for climbing roses or clematis.
