Thunbergia

Fast growing "Black Eyed Susan" vine, annual- will fill up a large area in no time!  Loves the sun (can tolerate some shade) if you can water it when it starts to wilt. Use rich soil that will hold some moisture.  It will forgive some dryness but not total.  Can cover fences, large trellis's, tall posts or undesirable spots in your landscape!  Feed it regularly throughout the season.  Attracts butterflies.  Another favorite of ours. 

 

 

The genus is named after the Swedish Naturalist Carl Peter Thunberg. In addition to Thunbergia many other genera have plants are known as Black-eyed Susan one of which is grown as a perennial (Rudbeckia Hirta) Sold as a perennial at Dan Schantz Greenhouse in the spring,
