Solanum umbellliferum 'Indian's Grey' - Blue Witch

Description

This species of Solanum has striking felty gray stems which contrast markedly with its bright purple flowers. Plant with other small shrubs and midsized perennials such as Monkeyflowers and Sagebrush. Expect to see flowers in early spring and, with a little pruning and extra water, throughout the summer and fall. It can get lanky, so it should be cut back once or twice a year to maintain its shape.
