This fast-growing tropical climber, often grown as an annual, boasts vibrant pink flowers with a striking dark centre, creating a stunning display from mid-summer to autumn.

Thunbergia alata 'SunEyes Rose Sensation' reaches up to 2m (6ft), making it perfect for covering trellises, fences, or obelisks, its heart-shaped green leaves provide a lush backdrop to the eye-catching blooms.

Ideal for hanging baskets or trailing down container edges, it adds both colour and scale to garden spaces. This tender perennial thrives in the warmer months, offering a long-lasting floral show until October.


  • Garden care:
    Pot up and grow on under glass until all risk of frost has passed and they can then either be planted outside into a well-prepared bed, or used to fill decorative pots and hanging baskets for the patio.

    A twining climber, it will need support, and it should be watered freely when in growth - and apply a balanced liquid fertiliser monthly.
