Re: New vine

S. seaforthianum, but who's counting.

Thanks, Kitty. I suspect the USDA zone is in the 9a-11 range. Maybe 8b-11 with dormant winters.

Jim, I can't remember which species of Solanum you've got and still can't
access internet from here. But I'm looking at Botanica, which does a better
job on warm plant zones than cold plant zones. I see one, S. crispum,
Chilean Potato Tree - pretty close to Brazil! - which says Zone8-10. The
flowers are more lavender but it does have a cultivar, S.c. 'Glasnevin'
which has deep blue flowers, much as yours appeared. Also in the same
neighborhood is S. rantonnetii, Paraguay Nightshade with violet-blue
flowers, but it shows Zones 9-10

Wish I could say it did. A2Z says 45 to 50 degrees minimum [no zone
that I could see]. Sunset, which uses its own zones [not USDA's], says
it's hardy to 19 degrees. Not sure I trust either of them. Spent some
time today modifying the irrigation system so they [we bought two for
opposite corners of the lathhouse] will be watered once planted. Will
try to get them planted tomorrow. About this time next year, they ought
to be ripe for cuttings.

Ohmigosh Jim it's GORGEOUS.  Please tell me it's not hardy in zone 8.

Awesome vine... too bad it is not hardy here, as I would have just
the place
for it :)

Does it also have a fragrance to it?
