Description

Black-Eyed Susan Vine, Mixed Colors(Thunbergia alata) - Grow Thunbergia seeds for this incredible climber! Commonly called Black-Eyed Susan vine, this tender perennial is evergreen in zones 10 and warmer, and where it is grown as a perennial, it can reach heights of 20 feet. In cooler areas where there are winter frosts, grow Thunbergia vine as an annual, sowing the Thunbergia seeds each spring. This vine brightly displays 1 1/2 inch flowers in multicolor blooms of yellow, white and orange. The simple blooms have 5 petals and surround a brownish purple center. The lush foliage and profuse blooming make this a rewarding plant to grow in any summer landscape.

Provide moist, well-drained soil in full sun with some afternoon shade. The Black Eyed Susan vine needs regular watering throughout the summer. Plant seedlings 3 inches away from supports. Netting or strings make good trellis material. Solid fencing or large posts will need trellis material for the vine to climb. Space plants 8 - 12 inches apart. Pinch the tips of young Black-Eyed Susan plants to encourage branching. If grown in a container, Thunbergia can be wintered indoors in a bright, sunny window.

How To Grow Thunbergia From Seed: It is recommended to soak the Thunbergia seeds over night in tepid water. Following the soaking, sow Black-eyed Susan vine seeds outdoors after the last frost in prepared seed bed. Or, to get a jump start on the growing season, sow Thunbergia Alata seeds indoors 6 - 8 weeks before outdoor planting. Thunbergia flower seeds germinate better in darkness.

They were really nice and loved the anount of seeds! Cant wait to sprout!

I use this vine for interest and color. It works well in containers.

Love these, bought them two years in a row now. I cant seem to kill them and thats what I need low maintenance! They do grow fast, climbed up my deck and beyond (almost too much growth) but oh so pretty!

Waaaah. These didnt grow for me!

Super easy to grow. Bees and hummingbirds come to the blooms.
