Thunbergia (Black-Eyed Susan Vine) – 11" Hanging Basket

🌿 Plant Story & Meaning

Bright, cheerful, and full of Southern charm, Thunbergia — commonly called Black-Eyed Susan Vine — is a true garden showstopper. With its vibrant blooms and graceful trailing vines, this plant brings life, color, and movement to porches, patios, and garden spaces.

Native to tropical regions but perfectly suited for warm Southern summers, Thunbergia thrives in the heat and humidity we know so well here in coastal Georgia. Its sunny flowers — often in shades of golden yellow, orange, or creamy white with a signature dark center — create a joyful display that feels right at home in a cottage garden or hanging basket.

At Wrights Market, we love Thunbergia for the way it quickly fills a space with lush greenery and nonstop blooms, creating that effortless garden party feeling all season long.

🌸 Bloom & Growth

Thunbergia vines grow quickly and produce continuous blooms from late spring through fall.

In an 11" hanging basket, the vines will cascade beautifully over the sides or climb nearby trellises and railings.

Expect:

• Fast-growing vines that trail or climb
• Bright trumpet-shaped flowers
• Continuous blooming through the warm season
• Excellent performance in Southern heat

This is one of those plants that gets better and fuller as the summer progresses.
