Product description

Thunbergia alata Mixed Black Eyed Suzie is a vigorous climber known for its striking flowers in warm shades of orange, yellow, and white, each centred with a distinctive black eye. This mix is ideal for adding a splash of colour to trellises, fences, or hanging baskets. The fast-growing nature of this climber makes it perfect for creating a quick screen or adding vertical interest to your garden. These charming flowers attract bees and butterflies, adding to the biodiversity of your garden while providing a stunning display.

Sow Thunbergia alata seeds indoors from February to April in seed trays or pots, maintaining a consistent temperature of 15-20C for optimal germination. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots and gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions. Plant them out from late May to June in a sunny, sheltered location, ensuring they have support for their climbing habit. Space the plants about 30cm apart to allow them room to grow and spread.

To enjoy a continuous display of flowers from June to October, ensure that your Thunbergia alata plants receive regular watering and are planted in well-drained, fertile soil. Deadheading the spent flowers will encourage further blooming. This variety thrives in warm conditions and is best suited for growing in UK gardens where it can climb and cascade freely, adding vibrant colour to any garden setting.
