Solanaceae (APG classification: Solanaceae). Also known as Thairin Magaribana. A semi-shrub native to Colombia, it is treated as an annual in horticulture. The plant branches from the base and tends to fall over as it grows, so it is best planted in a hanging pot or planter. It flowers for a long time from summer to autumn, with many flowers blooming in each axil of each branch. The flowers are pale purple and 4 to 5 centimeters in diameter. There are also varieties with blue and white flowers. It is propagated from seed, with seeds sown in early to mid-April and grown in frames. For greenhouse cultivation, it is sown in February and blooms in June. It prefers well-drained, humus-rich soil, and the seeds are small, so be careful not to sow them too thickly.

Japanese:

ナス科(APG分類:ナス科)。タイリンマガリバナともいう。コロンビア原産の半低木であるが、園芸上は一年草として取り扱う。株は基部から分枝し、成長するにつれて倒れやすくなるので、吊(つ)り鉢かプランター植えにして観賞するとよい。花期は夏から秋と長く、各枝の葉腋(ようえき)ごとに多くの花を開く。花は淡紫色で、径4~5センチメートル。青、白色花の品種もある。繁殖は実生(みしょう)により、4月上旬~中旬に播種(はしゅ)し、フレームで育苗する。温室栽培の場合は、2月播(ま)きで6月に開花する。排水がよく、腐植質に富む用土を好み、種子は小粒なので、厚播きにならないように注意する。
