Solanum laxum ‘Album’ (Potato Vine)

Sweetly scented and fast-growing, award-winner Solanum laxum ‘Album’ (Potato Vine) is a large, semi-evergreen climber with luminous clusters of jasmine-scented, star-shaped, white flowers adorned with tiny, yellow centers. The flowers are produced in great quantities from summer to fall and usually year-round in mild climates. The fragrant blooms are followed by decorative but inedible, rounded, purple-black fruits. Delicate-looking, the foliage of small, glossy, dark green leaves will remain on the plant in mild winter areas. Well-behaved, this vigorous climber can quickly cover a small arbor or a sunny sheltered wall.
