Have you tried scrolling down to the A-Z at the bottom of this page, click on S and look on the 3rd page if that helps or you could upload a pic im sure someone would know your solanum. p.

Depends which one - does the label simply say Solanum, or are there one or two other words following that? solanum is a large group, covering potatoes, aubergine, nightshade up to ornamental climbers.

Thanks for your replies. my solanum is a flowering climbing plant, supposed to be white. I would like to know how vigorous it is and will it need pruning, also how long will it flower and is it evergreen.

Hard to say without knowing the variety - if its Solanum jasminoides 'album', that's pretty tender and will keel over at the slightest hint of frost - if its Solanum crispum 'album', that's a bit hardier, but still needs a very sheltered spot. Both are semi evergreen, will lose leaves in a cold winter. Suggest you google both varieties and look at images of the leaves - the leaves on the hardier one are thicker and not so wavy. Expected height about 2 metres.

Thanks bamboo. I will google it, I shall be a bit miffed if it the tender one as the spot where its going is against a wall but isn't really sheltered. If its the hardier one I shall wrap it in fleece for the winter and hope it survives.
