Solanum laxum ‘Album’ is a carefully cultivated variety of the potato vine (Solanum jasminoides family), selected for its exceptional floral display, vigorous climbing habit, and semi-evergreen foliage. Supplied in a 3-litre nursery container, it establishes quickly in well-drained soil and thrives in full sun or lightly shaded areas. Its flexible, twining stems allow the plant to climb naturally over walls, fences, pergolas, and trellises, or cascade elegantly from containers, making it versatile for both formal and informal planting designs.
The defining feature of ‘Album’ is its profusion of star-shaped, jasmine-like flowers. Each blossom is pure white with a central yellow “eye,” forming delicate clusters along the twining stems. Blooming from June through September, these flowers create a striking contrast against the rich green foliage and add long-lasting visual and sensory interest to summer gardens. The subtle fragrance of the blooms enhances patios, pergolas, and garden paths, while also attracting pollinators, including bees and butterflies.
Solanum laxum ‘Album’ grows to approximately 3–4 metres in height with a spread of 1.5–2 metres when trained on suitable supports. Supplied in a 3-litre container measuring around 18–20 cm in height and diameter, it establishes quickly once planted. Individual star-shaped flowers measure approximately 3–4 cm across and are produced in clusters from June to September. Its glossy green, semi-evergreen foliage forms a dense, twining screen, ideal for walls, fences, pergolas, or container displays. The vigorous climbing habit ensures rapid coverage, while the long flowering season provides consistent colour, fragrance, and vertical interest for summer garden schemes.
