Silver Sparkle Nettle Plant

Silver Sparkle Nettle Plant – Solanum elaeagnifolium

Bring shimmer and texture to your plant collection with the Silver Sparkle Nettle Plant. Known for its striking metallic-looking foliage, this variety produces narrow, pointed leaves with a brilliant silver sheen and deep green veins. In sunlight, the foliage reflects light like a mirror, while in shaded spaces it seems to glow—earning its “sparkle” name.

Similar to Herman’s Pride, the Silver Sparkle Variegatum offers a more delicate leaf structure with narrower proportions, making it an elegant choice for brightening up darker corners of your home or garden. Its unique coloration and reflective finish make it a favorite among plant collectors who enjoy dramatic foliage displays.
