Atropa baetica, andalusian Deadly Nightshade

Recommended Posts

hello.

i would like to share with us some pics of my A. baetica grown for me. This specie grows in a few places in the South of Spain, mainly Andalusia, and North Morocco.

Leaves are so similar to A. belladona, but the flower is yellow and the shape are quite different. This specie can thrive in conditions warmer and drier than A. Belladona and its so easy to cultivate.

It flowers the second year and its flowering from may to almost September producing many berries. It can holds hot temperatures but doesnt like direct sun.

Plants 1 moth old and seedling in the corner.

In summer I put the pots in a shaded place, not indoors. The summer of my city are so hot with low air humidity, some days can reach 40ºC. This plant can growing with this temperatures If it arent exposed to direct sun.

Hello I was wondering if I could purchase some Atropa baetica seed from you if you have any, i'm from the UK and I am starting to build up a sizable collection of Solanaceae, and I have been sourcing everywhere for this species, if you can help me I would be more than happy to pay you or trade with.

Kind regards

Nigel
