Nightshade, also known as Belladonna, is a stackable variant of cave nightshade grown using the Farming skill. It is used to make poison dynamite, or to make weapon poison(++) along with poison ivy berries and coconut milk, requiring level 82 Herblore.

Players with 63 Farming can plant belladonna seeds at the patch near Draynor Manor to grow nightshade. This grants 92 Farming experience for planting it, and 512 experience for harvesting it. In order to harvest nightshade, the player must wear gloves or gauntlets; otherwise, the player won't be able to pick any and will suffer 2 damage if they try (this appears as a poison hitsplat but it is really just normal damage). One seed can produce a minimum of 6 nightshades, with the maximum scaling with the player's Farming level, much like limpwurt roots.

Players can eat nightshade, but this is not recommended in most situations. When eaten, the player will say, "Ahhhh! What have I done!" and take up to 15 damage (damage taken scales with the player's current Hitpoints), but as with most self-damaging items it is impossible for the player to kill themselves with it. (Note: It is possible for players to eat this without losing health — if the player were to accidentally eat the nightshade, they can teleport away to avoid losing any Hitpoints, provided they don't click "continue" on the dialogue text.)

Damage taken is given by the formula

$Damage(Hitpoints)={\begin{cases}15,&{\text{if }}Hitpoints\geq 20\\\left\lfloor {\frac {Hitpoints}{2}}\right\rfloor &{\text{if }}Hitpoints<20\end{cases}}$

Hitpoints	Damage taken
1	0
2–3	1
4-5	2
6-7	3
8-9	4
10-11	5
12-13	6
14-15	7
16–17	8
18-19	9
20-99	15

Planting a belladonna seed and harvesting it is a task in the Hard Lumbridge & Draynor Diary.

Although the nightshade is untradeable, it is an ingredient to make a tradeable potion. Therefore, it has a theoretical value of 3,437 coins when buying coconut milk and poison ivy berries and selling the resulting weapon poison(++).
