Solanum (Potato Vine)
Glasnevin is a semi-evergreen climber. It's foliage is a lovely mid green and leaves are long and pointed at the tips. In the summer months is when this plant really comes alive, clusters of tiny purple flowers, with bright yellow centres cover this climber. The ideal position for this would be climbing up a trellis or over a pergola near a garden seating area as the flowers have a lovely scent.

Customer reviews
Very healthy, good size and very well packaged. Very pleased with it
Kate Formolli | Bexhill on sea | April 2022
This plant needs well drained soil in sun against a south wall, all of which I have. We have enjoyed this plant and wanted another to make the planting scheme balanced. The solanum arrived well packed and in a very healthy condition. It will grow very fast and blossom all summer long. Feed and prune to get a longer flowering time. We love it. Thank you
This plant fits our soil, aspect and colour scheme. Wonderful plant.

Beautiful, healthy plant
I was delighted with the plant. It's much larger than I expected and so healthy looking. I can't wait for it to flower.
