Solanum umbelliferum 'Mt. Diablo' is more commonly known as the Mt. Diablo Blue Witch, an enduring and enchanting evergreen perennial that has a strong presence in any landscape. Its commanding size, between 3-4 feet in both height and breadth, makes it a highly visible and striking addition to your garden. The charm of this plant is truly unleashed as night falls and its resplendent, royal-blue, star-shaped flowers bloom, painting a magical landscape among the dark green foliage. Native to California's Mount Diablo, this hardy plant basks under conditions of full sun to partial shade, displaying its finely veined leaves that offer a nuanced beauty of their own. With an inherent resilience and ability to thrive in dry, well-drained soils, it is also an ideal specimen for xeriscaping or rock garden settings. An added attraction is the ornamental, red berries it bears post its blooming period, providing a vibrant contrast to the cool blue and green palette, complementing its overall allure. Complete with high drought-tolerance and requiring minimal maintenance, the Mt. Diablo Blue Witch is the perfect low-effort, high-impact addition to uplift any garden aesthetics.
