Blue Potato Bush, Paraguay Nightshade, Blue Lycianthes 'Royal Robe'
Lycianthes rantonnetii

This can be trained into a small tree. Blooms continuously until it gets too cold.

Welcome to Dave's, Barb. That is a brugmansia. There is a Brugmansia Forum on Daves, go on over and see all the pretty ones there are. This one is called Suzanne and the flowers are huge. In places where it is humid, the pink gets very dark.

And thanks! My solanum is getting very old. I have trained into a tree not a bush.

I'm looking at planting a Paraguay Nightshade but I'm concerned about my dogs and the fact that the plant is poisonous. Has anyone heard of the plant being ingested by pets? This is a lovely photo!
Thanks,
Lisa

I never knew it was poisonous. I have cats and they never seem interested in any of my plants. I just fertilized it today hoping to get it to bud out for a great show soon.

Hello again Dee! Fancy seeing you again! LOL The brug police are going to come to your house! LOL

It is Cream sickle. Always does well here.

Kell,

Nature has a way with giving animals forsight on what not to eat (in most cases).
