Couldn't find belladonna (or nightshade) in any heraldic dictionary, but the Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary cites it as "... having reddish bell-shaped flowers, shining black berries ...".
It's likely "slipped and leaved vert, flowered gules and seeded sable" which has good contrast with what you're probably checking for contrast with. The only other entry for a "sprig of belladonna" in the OandA had it flowered purpure.
Morgana of the Marshes
The following device associated with this name was registered in November of 1980 (via the West):
Argent, a sprig of belladonna proper, in canton an increscent azure [Atropa belladonna].
