This ruby-pink flowered ‘Black Eyed Susan’ is an exotic-looking climber with its hairy leaves and twining stems, quickly able to cover a potted obelisk or trellis. Flowering throughout the summer, ‘Sunny Susy Rose Sensation’ has the characteristic dense black centres that contrast against the rest of the flower as well as the backdrop of dark green leaves. Use it to bring height and structure to your planting scheme or grow in a warm conservatory where it will remain a tender, evergreen perennial. - Garden care: Keep under glass where temperatures dip below 5°C, only moving outside after the frosts have passed. A twining climber, it will need support, and it should be watered freely when in growth with a balanced liquid fertiliser applied monthly.
