Description

Bright summer blooms seem to just last and last! Thick green foliage is coated in a confectionary collection of colour for months, filling hanging baskets or coating an ugly garden wall. A remarkable climbing Thunbergia that stretches high, looking remarkable whether trained up a trellis or sprawled across a pergola.

Regardless of how you grow them, you'll be able to see huge 2m stems coated in deep green, heart-shaped foliage. Bright blooms erupt across many months of summer, into autumn, featuring eye-catching shades of pink, orange, and yellow. So easy to grow, witness impressive flower power with a flurry of colour from little effort.

Supplied as a set of six plug plants, ready to plant out.

Top Tips

Thunbergia can be grown as a houseplant, but remember that they can become large!

Care Information

Unpack plugs immediately, and stand them in water for an hour. If you can�t do this, they can sit in Mini Greenhouses for a week if upright and not too wet.
Plugs may be slightly dry or yellow after being in a dark box in the post but they�ll quickly recover.
Put them somewhere warm, light and airy such as a windowsill or greenhouse. When potting on, handle plugs carefully.
Pot on using our 9cm pots in Shuttle Trays, using good multi-purpose compost.
Give your plants a good water initially, then only when the top compost starts to dry. They don�t like to be left in standing water.
Plant approx. 30cm apart to allow them room to grow.
Feed using a high-potash feed such as Blooming Fast Superior Soluble Fertiliser for Flowers & Fruits, to encourage flowering.
Deadhead when flowers fade to encourage more flowers. Overwinter in a greenhouse or conservatory or treat as an annual and replace every year.
