THUNBERGIA – Black-eyed Susan Vine

(thun BURR jee ah)

Tried & True Thunbergia

Thunbergia

Thunbergia alata

Since the appearance of the vegetative-propagated Thunbergias on the market, these plants are celebrating a real renaissance. They are tender perennials (in warmer climates) but are mostly grown as annuals because they are frost tender, grow quickly and produce flowers in the first season. The showy, funnel-shaped flowers stand out above the arrow-shaped leaves. This vigorous, low-maintenance vine serves well as a screen when encouraged to climb on a trellis or fence. It is also useful as a trailing plant for window boxes, urns, and hanging baskets. Cultivate Thunbergias in a warm spot and protect them against drafts.
