    I believe it is a Blue Potato Bush sometimes called Paraguay nightshade.
    Lycianthes rantonneti

        Thanks @Jocko

        What was it called previously @noisette47 ?

        I had thought it was Potato vine at first glance but the flowers didn't look right when I asked for a close up. I've never heard of the potato bush, is it fairly common, I quite like it.
