Thunbergia battiscombei

TENDER vine with rich royal purple, flared pouch flowers! The blooms are a big 3” across and have a yellow throat. From tropical Africa, this vine is a restrained grower happy at 3 vertical feet, so it lends itself to containerizing to move under cover during winter. Surprisingly easy – enjoys bright light, good soil and regular moisture (not soggy!). Can be coaxed to 6’…or cut back in early spring to make a fountain shaped perennial. Hardy to 24 degrees.
