Thunbergia- Lemon Star Black-Eyed Susan Vine is a sunny yet bright black eyed susan vine you definitely want your hands on it you can get it. This one in particular was grown from a plug, which means a already started plant. The flowers I noticed are much bigger on this plant than on the seeded varieties.
Black Eyed Susan Vines love sun, heat and moisture. They do well in baskets, pots or planted directly in the ground. They are vigorous growers . As you can see from the photo’s they have a beautiful habit.
Thunbergia Blushing Susie was started from seed, and it is lovely and does just as well as all other varieties. The color on this vine is yellow to reddish tones.
Very unique and beautiful! To create a full basket put 3-4 plants per basket. From the picture you can see it does fill out and flourish. Once the heat comes on , so does the growth , so look out!
Thunbergia do seem to tolerate moisture quite well, especially if you are having a hot summer months.
Orange Beauty Thunbergia is also started from seed , however you can also buy this one in plug form.
Hardiness weather around 32C degrees. Grows 5-8 ft in length so allow room to grow. Some varieties may vary in size. Blooms all season long making long lasting color .

always been fascinated by this vine..I think this year I have to grow one!!
Donna, you should at least try, it is such a beautiful plant.
Love these vines!! I grow the bright yellow one on an old garden gate every summer. Will have to try the other colors too. 🙂
Oh Debbie you must , they all do wonderfully . I like them all really .
These are so beautiful! When should I plant the seeds in the basket? Is it best to start them separately and transfer to a basket? I always buy hanging baskets of flowers on impulse and this year I want to do it myself, but I am nervous about getting it right!
I like to start them in a pot or tray then transplant , then after established move to your baskets.
If you grow the plant in a container, bring it inside when it’s done for the season. It will spit its seeds all over your floor, so a clear bag or plastic around the plant will keep the seeds contained. Collect all the seeds and grow them again!
