Notes

'Coconut A-Peel' black-eyed Susan vine (Thunbergia alata 'Coconut A-Peel') is an annual for containers, pollinator gardens, and privacy screens. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. Its cascading stems spill over the edges of pots. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the blooms.

Pairs well with Mandevilla, Hyacinth bean, Celosia, and Hamari Gold dahlia.
