The listing, BLACKEYED SUSAN VINE SEEDS (20) has ended.

Thunbergia alata has a vine habit, and can grow to a height of 6-8 ft (1.8-2.4 m) in tropical zones, or much less as a container plant or as an annual. It has twining stems with heart or arrow-shaped leaves. The flowers have five petals and appear throughout the growing season. They typically are warm orange with a characteristic dark spot in the centre, although different varieties can be red, orange, red-orange, white, pale yellow, or bright yellow, with or without the characteristic chocolate-purple centre which inspires the common name Blackeyed Susan Vine. Thunbergia alata seed is easy to germinate in humus-rich soil with some sand. Soaking the seeds in a dish of warm water over night will help improve seed germination when planted. It is a fast grower, blooming quickly, with light trimming encouraging more blossoms. This would be considered a tender perrenial, in frost free areas, and an annual in all other areas but it produces 2 seeds for every blossom and you'll have plenty to replant next spring. This is also a butterfly and hummingbird favorite.
