blackeyed Susan vine

Thunbergia alata

The Blackeyed Susan Vine (Thunbergia alata) is an annual vine that boasts stunning yellow and orange flowers decorated with black eyes. They provide lots of colour and are a perfect way to bring a bit of the outdoors to a window box or trellis. The plants are easy to care for and grow quickly if planted in a sunny spot with regular watering. The blooms last from early summer into autumn, offering a great burst of colour during the earlier months of summer. It's an invasive species, so think carefully before introducing it to your garden!
