The Thrilling Thunbergia elata ‘SunEyes’ Collection is sure to take centre stage. From spring to autumn, an abundance of stunningly simple yet showy blooms festoon the fast-growing, lush green foliage. Climbing and twining to cover an obelisk, or trellis, they will also gracefully trail if planted in hanging baskets. Alternatively, Thunbergia will create dense mats of weed suppressing groundcover if left to sprawl along the soil.
Native to eastern Africa and known as Black-eyed Susan, the common name is thought to have come from a character in many traditional ballads who cried as she searched for her lost lover - Sweet William. Some say the two plants flower at the same time because of their great love for each other.
This collection comprises; ‘Orange Beauty’, ‘Rose Sensation’, ‘White’, ‘Yellow Dark Eye’ and ‘Red’.
The Thrilling Thunbergia elata ‘SunEyes’ collection prefers to be grown in any well-drained soil, except sandy, in sun or partial shade. Reaching a mature height of 2.
