Sunny Lemon Star Thunbergia

I started with a 1 1/2 foot starter plant, 'Sunny Lemon Star' Thunbergia from Al's Garden Center.  I had an 'Apricot' one the year before and LOVED it!  This is an annual vine that will grow quickly and cover a small to medium trellis by summers end with lovely bunches of bright yellow flowers that bloom almost daily throughout the Summer.  I planted mine in a large terra-cotta pot with a wooden trellis for support (above) My Sunny Lemon Star Thunbergia in May.

Growing Tips: Thunbergia prefer full sun and moderately moist soil with a trellis or wall to climb, it will grow 12 - 15 feet tall or you can wind it back and forth on a shorter trellis.

Apricot Thunbergia

I started with a 1 foot starter plant, 'Smoothie' Apricot Thunbergia from Al's Garden Center. It is an annual vine that will quickly cover a trellis and has lovely bunches of pink-orange blooms with a black center. Plus, it blooms all summer. I have planted mine in a large terra-cotta pot with a wooden trellis for support. (right) My plant in bloom in June.
