@meoralis Love it! Don't know the shrub - but is that done through grafting, or does it do it naturally? Fabulous.

@JimmyB@mas.to Same! It's so unique :) I'm no expert, but when I had a closer look, it looked like grafting to my untrained eye. My guess is Lycianthes rantonnetii, also known as the blue potato bush (as a nightshade plant it's related to potatoes).

@JimmyB@mas.to

@meoralis Nice looking plant! I stuff way too many plants into my littl garden. But might have to find a little space for one of those...

Wiki was helpful: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lycianth

Looks like it is grafted (can't find any reference to a dual colouring variety) and the white seems to be rarer. But that's fabulous. Thank you for sharing...

I'll have a think about a little spot!

But also need to check if it is suscepitble to blight like others in the solanacae family (toms and potatoes)...
