Thunbergia Blushing Susie

Thunbergia Blushing Susie, the only red shades Thunbergia we’ve found whose blooms genuinely are shades of red, with occasional apricot and ivory accents. All on the same plant!

Thunbergia Blushing Susie

A spectacular climber with red petals and a cottage garden heritage updated by years of careful breeding.

The blooms are a good size, held wide open and measuring about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches across.

 

 

They are VERY profuse, simply covering this diminutive 3 to 8 ft. vine over a long early-summer-to-frost season.

Talk about long-blooming — Blushing Susie keeps you in color for up to 6 months!

Thunbergia Blushing Susie

Electrifies in  containers, baskets, trellises and garden fences.

Happiest in full sun and moist, well-drained soil.

I love this vine, easy to grow and blooms and blooms.. It is best to plant 3-4 plants per 10-12 inch hanging basket.

These grow really fast once the night and day temperatures stay consistent. The color of this vine may vary slightly depending on fertilizer and lighting.

You can also plant in the ground and train up a trellis . Growing this way you will not have to worry so much about moisture issues.

It is a winner in my book.
