Black-eyed Susan Vine - Yellow - Thunbergia alata - Striking golden blooms for showy display - Fresh Seeds

Black-eyed Susan vine Yellow (Thunbergia alata) is a charming annual climber that brings a bright, sunny look to growing spaces. Its velvety, intense yellow flowers with a distinctive dark centre stand out beautifully and add warmth and cheer. The plant produces long, flexible shoots that can reach up to 2 m, making it ideal for covering pergolas, trellises, fences, and railings with a natural green and gold screen. Heart-shaped leaves provide an attractive backdrop, and flowering continues from June to October, with plenty of blooms throughout the season.

Sowing depth

Sow the seeds to a depth of about 0.5 to 1 cm. This depth supports quick germination and healthy early growth.

Sowing time under cover

Start sowing under cover early, from January to March. Provide a warm, bright place and seedlings should appear quickly. This approach helps you raise strong young plants ready for planting out when warmer weather arrives.

Planting out

Plant seedlings outside in May, once the soil has warmed and the risk of frost has passed. This plant does not tolerate cold well, so waiting for stable conditions supports vigorous growth and continuous flowering through the summer.

Spacing

Space plants at about 40 x 50 cm. This gives them enough room to develop and produce healthy, dense growth without overcrowding.

Flowering period

Black-eyed Susan vine flowers from June to October. Over this long period it keeps forming new buds, providing a bright decorative feature through summer and into autumn.

Growing

Grow in full sun in a spot sheltered from wind. The soil should be fertile, light, and free draining, kept moderately moist, as overly dry conditions can reduce flowering. Provide supports such as canes, netting, or wires for the stems to climb and form living screens. It also performs well in large containers, where a sturdy support is enough for the plant to twine and create an attractive, romantic display.
