A nice twist on the Solanum crispum 'Glasnevin'.

Just planted one too, but it is only about a foot high so lots of growing to do yet, yours looks a lot bigger than mine??xxx

Hi @kerimyth, mine is around 1 metre high so lots of growing left for it. It's made me very happy by flowering well ☺

Ours has one little group of flowers in it! But I know they grow quite tall, I've planted it along side a rambling rose hoping they will mingle together, not sure if they will, what do you think??

I'm sure they will. It depends on how vigorous the rambler is? The rose (what colour?) may overcrowd the Solanum with its larger leaves? I'd say go for it, it might take a bit of training and threading them through each other but that's half the fun. And if it works, it'll look stunning ☺
