Thunbergia alata 'Orange And Red'

Black-eyed Susan is a native of east Africa and, as might be expected, enjoys warm, slightly humid weather with shelter from cold winds. It used to be regarded as a conservatory climber, but it's now regularly grown outdoors, both in hanging baskets and in more protected corners of the garden.

Thunbergia alata ‘Orange and Red’ bears orange flowers with flashes of burnt orange-red, and a contrasting black eye. It's a vigorous climber and will quickly cover a trellis or obelisk. Grow in moist but well-drained soil in a sheltered, sunny spot. It can also be grown in containers.
