Thunbergia
battiscombei |
| Thunbergia battiscombei
provides a lush burst of color late in the season. The plants will
die to the ground unless kept in a
greenhouse or you happen to live in near hothouse conditions. However
Thunbergia battiscombei will return reliably from the
roots even with winter temperatures into the low 20's. And as I
mention often, I do like
a pleasant surprise. I mark the seasons by the comings and goings of plants like
this one. It blooms with these intensely purple flowers for much of the summer.
If Thunbergia battiscombei is watered it will continue to produce through to frost. If not
Thunbergia battiscombei will
hibernate until the next spring.
