My wife brought home a Blue Potatoe Bush because of it's picture of the blossom and leaves. I need to know where and how to plant it. Will it take full sun? What kind of soil and how big will it become?

RE: Blue Potatoe Bush

Full sun, average soil, keep soil moist not wet. Belongs to the nightshade family so flowers, berries, leaves, etc are poisonous. Frost tender but would come back in zone 8 and above. In colder places - over-winter indoors or with sufficient shelter.

Can get a bit exuberant so a gentle trimming when it looks sprawly would keep it looking smart.
