Plant details
Previously known as Solanum jasminoides 'Album', this variety of potato vine has slightly fragrant, 2.5cm (1in) white flowers, each with a central yellow beak, throughout mid to late summer. Its wiry stems need tying to wires or trellis for support, and bear small, semi-evergreen leaves which are thinner and more delicate-looking than those of Solanum crispum. It is a much more tender plant than the latter, and in areas with cold winters is best grown inside a conservatory. Plants can also be grown in large containers and trained up an obelisk, for standing outside in summer and moving under cover in winter. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).
