Sunshine yellow blooms brighten any garden A versatile beauty, Thunbergia alata SunEyes Yellow Dark Eye climbs with self-clinging tendrils to cover a trellis, obelisk, or fence. Bright, yellow blooms with a dark eye are simple yet effective as they cover the foliage in abundance from spring, through summer and well into the autumn. This versatile vine will also gracefully trail when grown in a hanging basket and can even create dense mats of weed-suppressing groundcover when left to sprawl. Thunbergia alata ‘SunEyes Yellow Dark Eye’ originates from warm, tropical areas of eastern Africa. Thunbergia is commonly known as Black-eyed Susan Vine. This character was a sad woman who endlessly searched for her long-lost lover, she called Sweet William, and has often been sung about in ballads. Thunbergia alata ‘SunEyes Yellow Dark Eye’ prefers to be grown in well-drained soil in sun or part shade. Reaching a mature height of 2.4m, it is a tender perennial which will need frost protection dur
