Add item to quote to see pricing

Solanum rantonnetii is a lusciously vivid, perennial shrub, affectionately known as the Paraguay Nightshade. Native to South America, this striking green gem hits its stride in full sun to partial shade, featuring an impressive breadth and height ranging from 3-8 feet. Its radiant blue or purple blossoms, punctuated by a bright yellow center, are showcased in generous clusters from spring through the fall. A testament to its fortitude, this semi-evergreen stands tall even during droughts, attributing to its tremendous versatility. It's not just the human eye it captivates - this beauty has a knack for attracting a medley of birds and pollinators, enriching your landscape with a symphony of nature's best. Be advised, though, its vivid allure is best admired from afar due to its toxicity when ingested. Truly, the Paraguay Nightshade is a rare treat for any garden, lending an exotic burst of color and lush foliage.
