Solanum Aviculare (Kangaroo Apple)

Solanum Aviculare (Kangaroo Apple) is a fast-growing Australian native shrub valued for its lush green foliage, attractive purple star-shaped flowers, and vibrant orange-red ornamental fruit. Its upright, bushy habit makes it an excellent choice for native gardens, wildlife plantings, screening, and informal hedges. The colourful flowers attract pollinators, while the fruit provides interest well into the cooler months.

Hardy and adaptable, Solanum Aviculare thrives in a wide range of soil types and grows quickly in full sun to partial shade. It is well suited to revegetation projects, habitat gardens, and low-maintenance landscapes, offering rapid establishment, year-round greenery, and excellent ornamental appeal.
