'''''Solanum crispum''''' is also called the '''Chilean potato vine''' or '''Chilean potato-tree''' or often just [[potato vine]].  It belongs to the same [[genus]] as the [[potato]] (''Solanum tuberosum''). The flowers resemble potato flowers.  ''Solanum crispum'' is a South American, [[perennial plant|perennial]], semi-[[evergreen]], woody-stemmed [[Vine#Climbing plants|climbing plant]] that has blue [[flower]]s 2.5 cm in diameter with a yellow ovary, producing very small poisonous purple [[Berry|berries]] in autumn. The berries start out green, then yellow-orange.  The [[leaf|leaves]] are oval.  It grows wild in [[Chile]] and [[Peru]].

==Species==

<!--  This section should be renamed Cultivars if it appears on a page for a species (rather than genus), or perhaps Varieties if there is a mix of cultivars, species, hybrids, etc    -->
   −
''Solanum crispum'' grows well in soils that are moist and well drained.  The soil should be neutral or a bit [[Alkali#Alkaline soil|alkaline]], see [[Soil pH]].  The [[University of Cambridge]] considers ''Solanum crispum'' hardy, though others think it should be protected from frost.  In areas where the plant is tender planting it against a south or west facing fence or wall is recommended. The plant needs support but can reach 15 or 20 [[Foot (unit of length)|feet]], (5 or 7 [[metre]]s).  It grows best in the sun and should be given plenty of sunny space if it is to reach its potential. It can be cut back to keep it within bounds.
