Bluewitch Nightshade
Bluewitch Nightshade is an herbaceous perennial sub-shrub that grows up to 3 feet tall.
The 1-inch, bright blue-purple flowers bloom most of the year (from February to October) and are followed by black berries (do NOT eat them! – all parts of this plant are toxic to humans and some animals).
Bluewitch Nightshade is tough, and can grow in both rocky and clay soils.
A great choice for bee gardens as the bright yellow centers of the flowers provide a plethora of pollen!
