Attractive, shrubby twining climber gives an almost perpetual display of showy
blue-tinged white blossoms. Good ornamental cover for fences or walls, or
growing across lattice for shade.
Solanum jasminoides has a scent that is worthy of its name. The fragrance is
not as overpowering as with some jasmines. In areas that have reasonable
conditions Potato Vines are frequently grown. It is a reliable plant that
blooms very well in the spring and has a mild perfume.
It will even bloom in more shade than most other vines. It
is hard to kill with too much or too little water once established. Solanum
jasminoides could be termed 'garden hardy'.
