Dulcamara is also known as Woody Nightshade. Dulcamara is a semi-woody herbaceous perennial vine, a beautiful plant. It is able to scramble over other plants, capable of reaching a height of 4 m where suitable support is available. The leaves are slightly arrowhead-shaped, and lobed at the base. The flowers are in clusters of 3-20, star-shaped, with five purple petals and yellow stamens. The fruit is an oval red berry about 1 cm long, soft and juicy.
