A real winner with the great foliage and beautiful blooms that are just opening. San Antonio, Tx.
Cuttings rooted well in 6 mo. They take forever to root, so give them time before giving up on them.

Thunbergia - I have it Ina pot, cut it back and overwinter in greenhouse. Blooms late in season after 2 applications of super bloom fertilizer of some type. Heavy bloomer once it starts. Lovely.
