Wildflower : Thunbergia Alata (black-eyed Susan vine)



Black-eyed Susan vines are cottage garden favorites. They look good in window boxes, mixed containers or climbing on trellises, arbors, fences or other structures around the home, and as a groundcover. Also effective in hanging baskets where the vine can twist around the basket supports or in patio containers with a small trellis. I found this plant along some roadsides in Kampar Perak.

Category: Vines and Climbers .

Sun Exposure: Sun to Partial Shade.

Water: The plants are not very drought tolerant and should be watered
regularly for optimum growth.
