Description

Thunbergia alata 'Blushing Susie', commonly known as the Black-Eyed Susan Vine, is a fast-growing, twining annual vine celebrated for its vibrant and varied blooms. Unlike the traditional orange-yellow varieties, 'Blushing Susie' offers a captivating mix of colors, including shades of red, pink, apricot, and ivory, all featuring the characteristic dark central eye . This cultivar is particularly favored for its ability to quickly cover trellises, fences, and hanging baskets, bringing a splash of color from early summer until the first frost. Its lush, heart-shaped green leaves provide a verdant backdrop to the profusion of flowers, making it a standout choice for gardeners seeking both beauty and vigor in their vertical plantings.

Colorful Blooms: Produces a mix of red, pink, apricot, and ivory flowers with dark centers.
Vigorous Growth: Rapidly climbs structures, reaching heights of 6–8 feet in a single season.
Extended Blooming Period: Flowers continuously from early summer through fall.
