Acanthaceae
Garden(s):
It has been our experience that Thunbergia alata 'Blushing Susie' performs well in our area in a warm season planting. Flowering is intermittent, but it is not continual throughout the season. We have found it to be particularly successful when used in hanging baskets and allowed to climb up the support or chain of the basket, but does best when trained early to ensure growth follows a desired way. It reaches about ten feet in height.
