Solanum xanti
Purple nightshade is a 2-3' tall perennial with one inch wide purple flowers and dark green foliage.
It is native in areas that receive 10-20" of rainfall. It can often be found under oak trees along the edge of the chaparral and likes leaf litter. Purple nightshade likes part sun on loams and clay. It is fairly deer proof.
