Black Eyed Susan Vine (Red)

The Black Eyed Susan Vine, also known as Thunbergia alata, is a climbing vine that belongs to the Acanthaceae family. The plant is named after its striking flowers, which are shaped like a daisy and have a distinctive black center surrounded by bright red, orange, or yellow petals.

This vine is a fast-growing annual that can reach a height of up to 8 feet and spread up to 2-3 feet wide. The plant has dark green, heart-shaped leaves that are slightly toothed and grow up to 4 inches long.

The Black Eyed Susan Vine thrives in full sun or partial shade and prefers well-draining soil. It is also relatively drought-tolerant once established, making it a low-maintenance addition to any garden or landscape.

This plant is a popular choice for trellises, arbors, and fences, as it can climb and cover these structures quickly. It is also a great choice for hanging baskets and containers, as its trailing vines can create a beautiful cascading effect.

In addition to its striking beauty, the Black Eyed Susan Vine is also known to attract hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies, making it an excellent choice for pollinator gardens.
