Overview

‘Glasnevin’ is a superb selection of this showy climbing plant, producing a spectacular display of fragrant violet-blue flowers held in large clusters all Summer and into Autumn. The flowers are sometimes followed by yellowish-white berries.

The dark green foliage is generally semi-evergreen but will drop if the winter is cold. An excellent subject for a sunny, sheltered wall or fence.

Solanum crispum prefers well-drained soil in full sun and with shelter from cold winds or severe frosts. A high-potash fertiliser in spring will encourage a good show of flowers in summer.

It is a vigorous plant and can grow up to 20ft but is easily controlled by pruning in spring: remove a third of the oldest stems to ground level. Prune the remaining flowering shoots from the previous year to two or three buds from the main stems. Cut out dead shoots at the same time. Tie in the young shoots as they develop to wires for support.

    I rarely write reviews but I must recommend this excellent nursery. It is the best nursery I have used for online ordering. Rang them first with some questions and they were most helpful. Then did my order of heathers and they were sent and arrived promptly in great condition and are very healthy looking plants.
