Help me out







Do you know what kind of...bush (?) this is? It's terribly over grown. Not sure if it would be worth cutting back. The purple flowers are nice but there aren't many of them. We have two of them. Help me.

Tammy just cut is back in see what it dose this spring. What do you got to lose. All brush need to be cut back every few years. Uncle Phil

I asked a friend of mine who is my plant "expert" & she said she thinks it is in the "solanum" family. Do you have a Sunset Garden book as it gives a good description or just goggle the name. Note the yellow fruit may be poisonous. Nancy

I had one of these bushes. My dad bought me one about 5 years back. It's absolutely beautiful when it's in full bloom. The purple flowers are EVERYWHERE. Unfortunately, it froze 2 years ago and I had to pull it out. I wish I could tell you the name but I have seen them at OSH so you could just probably go and look at a garden store. Good luck!
