From Madagascar comes this member of the Tomato family described variously as “wicked”, “eye-opening” and “extremely unusual”. With long, narrow, toothed, blue-green leaves which have large, prominent, bright orange, decorative spines down the mid-ribs on both sides, thick gloves are definitely called for. The stems are covered with orange fuzz and lavender flowers are borne in clusters. A tropical plant, it will need protection in winter and best grown as an annual. 3-5 ft.
