Paraguay Nightshade (Lycianthes rantonnetii) Shrub

The Paraguay Nightshade (Lycianthes rantonnetii - syn. Solanum rantonnetii), is a perennial evergreen shrub of medium size and fast growth rate, which botanically belongs to the Solanaceae family. The main decorative element of the plant is its abundant and long-lasting flowering, which begins in late spring and reaches until mid-autumn, with an unusual shade of blue-violet fragrant with yellow center flowers. Paraguay Nightshade is an easy-to-cultivate shrub that grows in light to medium-sized soils with excellent drainage and does not have serious problems with pests and diseases. The advantages of Solanum Radonetti include its resistance to drought (in fully established plants), to air pollution as well as the possibility of planting it in coastal - but sheltered from strong winds - places. Still, it can be easily pruned into a small tree, and climbing.

► It is offered at a price determined by the particular characteristics of the plant, such as the size of the pot, its height, age and shape. Large shrubs are also available for sale (and planting) upon prior arrangement. In any case, the price or prices listed are indicative.
