A genus of perennial plants in the Solanaceae family, with about 30 species known in tropical and subtropical America, some of which are cultivated for ornamental purposes. N. frutescens is 30-90 cm tall, slightly upright, shrubby and finely branched. The leaves are linear and about 2.5 cm long. The flowers bloom from June to autumn, and when they open, they are dish-shaped with a short tube that is white with a blue tinge and a yellow border with the tube.
