Solanum wallacei clokeyi var. - Island Nightshade

Description

This spreading evergreen shrub grows 4' tall and can spread to 8' wide. It blooms in clusters of pale blue flowers with yellow centers, March-July. It is similar to the local native Blue Witch, but on a larger scale with bigger leaves and flowers. A rapid grower, this shrub wants regular pinching to look its best. Native to dry rocky slopes and canyons of the Channel Islands, it is drought tolerant once established. It does best in full sun.
