Thunbergia
alata Sunny Lemon Star ~ Yellow Black Eyed Susan Vine |
| Thunbergia alata Sunny
Lemon Starprefers a warm place in the winter
and will be damaged or killed with even a light frost. The Yellow Black
Eyed Susan Vine is not nearly as aggressive nor as hardy as Thunbergia
gregorii, but has much
the same fuzzy wrinkled leaves and tendrils. They can grow 8 - 10
feet. The flowers look very striking due to
the dark purple center and they will be covered in bloom most of the year,
possibly excepting the
depths of winter. Thunbergia alata Sunny Lemon Star will perform well even in lightly
shaded locations. This may be a good strategy in areas that are a
little marginal as the shade protection will offer a couple of extra
degrees of tolerance. In the banana belt portions of the inland valleys
I prefer to plant Thunbergia alata Sunny Lemon Star against the house to take advantage of
a little shared warmth.
