Sunlady is a hybrid of T. alata that is an amazing performer in the garden as well as the home. Since it blooms young and nearly constantly, it can be trimmed back regularly to make a great show on a trellis or in a hanging basket. The 2 inch sunny yellow blooms are always budding or opening all over this vine! Hybrid Thunbergia.
