Black Eyed Susan Vine (Thunbergia alata 'Susie Orange Black Eye') - Description
Use on a trellis, in mixed containers, or as a unique hanging basket item.
Black Eyed Susan Vine (Thunbergia alata 'Susie Orange Black Eye') - Blooming
Flowers generally show up in the summer. T. alata (Black-Eyed Susan Vine) has tubular flowers that come in a variety of colors, but all have purple-black throats.
Black Eyed Susan Vine (Thunbergia alata 'Susie Orange Black Eye') - Growth
Annuals, evergreen perennials, twining climbers, and shrubs. Thunbergia does well with full sun, but requires partial shade in the hottest of climates. Members of the genus Thunbergia grow as perennial vines that have twining stems. Shoots can be killed off by frost, but roots generally will survive. Less hardy plants (those grown in sites where temperatures drop below 61°F (16°C))should be grown in a warm or temperate greenhouse. In warmer areas, perennials and shrubs work well in a border. Climbing species can be trained over an arch, tree, or pergola.
Black Eyed Susan Vine (Thunbergia alata 'Susie Orange Black Eye') - Planting
Sow seeds in spring at 61-64°F (16-18°C) (16-18°F (16-18°C)). Can also propagate from greenwood cuttings and semi-ripe cuttings in summer.
Black Eyed Susan Vine (Thunbergia alata 'Susie Orange Black Eye') - Pest
Spider mites, whiteflies, and scale insects are a problem, especially under glass.
Black Eyed Susan Vine (Thunbergia alata 'Susie Orange Black Eye') - Soil and irrigation
