Black Eyed Susan Vine Spanish Eyes Seed

Black Eyed Susan Vine Spanish Eyes Seed

Thunbergia alata

Item #1182

Annual. There are countless ways to enjoy this cheery, sun-loving vine; window boxes, ground cover, on a trellis as a screen, in hanging baskets, decorating mailboxes and columns. Very fast growing with large, lush foliage, and masses of blooms all summer long in an eye-catching, dazzling array of sunset hues; the petals make a brilliant contrast to the dark, “Spanish eyes”. Perennial in zones 9-11; otherwise grown as an annual. Easy to grow from seed.
