BLACK EYED SUSAN VINE
Thunbergia alata
Introduced to gardeners from Africa in 1827, this lover of cool temperatures
and moist conditions will brighten up a window box or hanging basket
with its perfectly formed orange or white blossoms and dark throats.
Given fertile, well drained soil in a partially shaded location, it
will trail or twine up to 2 m and can be moved inside for use as an
attractive houseplant. Start 8 weeks before last frost for earlier
flowers. Can also be direct-seeded. Treat as an annual. Tr.
