Many gardeners enjoy this Andean member of the Nightshade family because of its bizarre appearance. Others like growing it for the orange acidic fruit it produces. I like Bed-of-Nails as a garden ornamental because of the size of its leaves. Contrast among other plants is definitely what you get with its huge 18

Sometimes I don’t use flowers at all, as this pairing of Bed of Nails (Solanum quitoense) and coleus /‘Inky Fingers-’ makes abundantly clear. What makes this combo work is that it has both contrasting and harmonious elements. The leaves couldn’t be more different in shape and texture, while the colors of the solanum’s veins and thorns and the burgundy blotches on the coleus are essentially the same. If the leaves were too much alike it would be boring; if the colors were as different as the leaves, it wouldn’t be nearly as appealing. That’s the trick, juggling elements of contrast alongside elements of harmony, and keeping the whole thing aloft. The colors establish a kind of dialog between the two plants, enabling to speak a common language.
That Bed of Nails/coleus combo is brilliant. Pamo–Thanks so much. It came about by having the two plants in pots of their own, I put them together and they stayed that way. It was a good way to do it, as that solanum grows like crazyy–it would have overrun the coleus had they been in the same pot. k–Steve
