There is not alot of information available on this rare plant, it is often mistaken for one of the other thunbergia's. It is a beautiful shrub that puts out striking blue flowers that are almost electric or neon in color.
I have grown these for 2 years and have thoroughly enjoyed them. Mine have not gotten more then 3 ft in height, but that could change with age. As they mature and flower on a regular basis, I will update the information.
