Thunbergia
African Sunset |
| Thunbergia African Sunset prefers a warm place in the winter
and will be damaged or killed with even a light frost. The Black
Eyed Susan Vine relatives are not nearly as aggressive nor as hardy as Thunbergia
gregorii, but has much
the same fuzzy wrinkled leaves and tendrils. The African Sunset flowers
fade as they age. This gives the plant an unusual variety of colors. Thunbergia
African Sunset will perform well even in lightly
shaded locations. In the banana belt portions of the inland valleys
I try to plant Thunbergia alata against the house to take advantage of
a little shared warmth.
High resolution images of Thunbergia
African Sunset are
