    Diminutive evergreen vine, to only about 4 to 5' with pleasingly white variegated leaves and blue …well… nightshade appearing flowers. Deciduous at about 20 °F, USDA zone 9, but resprouts well from 10 °F, zone 8. Perfect for containers or to add contrast in a light shade garden. Nice to have a vine that has some self-control. Some summer water where dry for best performance.

    Handsome, large, wide variegated leaves with stunning deep violet reflexed flowers with a yellow beak in July and August. Flowers are followed with berries that change from green to yellow to orange to a ripe red at varying times so it is possible to have all four colors at the same time. Good cut flower. A most unusual close relative of, all things, the potato! Can be grown as a free standing shrub or wall climber. Well drained sunny site or conservatory. Like all members of the Nightshade family, berries are poisonous so don't eat them! But so is a Poinsettia!
