Annual climbing plant, 1.5-2m high. The flowers are funnel-shaped, 4-5 cm in diameter, with cream, yellow or orange petals and a dark purple core. Grown through seedlings, planting them in the ground when the threat of night frosts has passed. The climbing stems of Tunbergia need support, but can also be grown in hanging pots, allowing the stems to hang freely. Blooms from July until frost. Use for vertical gardening of balconies, arbors and fences. **************************************************************************************************************************************************************** INSTRUCTIONS Thunbergia alata grows best in rich, moist soil in full sun. It tolerates partial shade but flowering may be reduced. Seed can be sown directly where the plants are to be grown once soil temperature reaches 60F in the spring. Plant near the trellis, fence, or other support structure, 14-16” apart. Fertilize every 2 to 3 weeks when in bloom if grown in containers. Outdoors blackeyed Susan vine has few pest problems, but if grown indoors it is readily infested by spider mites and whiteflies. Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the average last frost, and plant outside once all danger of frost has passed and night temperatures remain above 50F. Soaking the seeds in warm water overnight before sowing will speed germination. Press the seeds into the soil, covering completely. Seeds should germinate in 10-21 days. Plants grown in containers can be overwintered indoors in a warm, very bright room.
