Thunbergia alta (Black-Eyed Susan Vine)
Color Name: Arizona Glow
Fun, vibrant climbing vines! Black-Eyed Susan vine can grow 6 feet tall in a season and has lush green leaves. The blooms have 5 distinct petals and are symmetrical. Beautiful orange blooms with dark centers will have you dreaming of summer sunsets. Thunbergia is a genus of vigorous growers that will climb a trellis, pole, or tripod of bamboo stakes. Excellent heat tolerance.
Growing Tips: Likes sun, blooms all season, just an all around beauty. Requires normal moisture conditions. Annual in most areas except zone 10 and 11. Hardy to 30 degrees. Requires no deadheading, and is easy to grow.
When planting in containers, hanging baskets and window boxes, we recommend using our potting soil which is specially formulated for our plants. An application of a time release fertilizer at the time of planting will help to ensure the best possible performance. Zehr's Osmocote blend is perfect for the job. We also suggest fertilizing every two weeks during the hot summer months of June, July and August with Maxsea, which you can purchase at Zehr's. Begonias, Impatiens and most plants grown for foliage normally do not need as much fertilizer.
