Perfect for the summer garden! Brilliant yellow surrounds the black-eye of this most energetic climber. A hybrid of T. alata x T. gibsonii, this vine never stops flowering. It quickly fills any given space, covering itself with blooms from an early age.
This flowering vine sports butter yellow blooms with dark dimpled eyes. A vigorous grower, it trails to 4' and is covered in nonstop bloom!
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.
