Seed Needs Black-Eyed Susan Vine Seeds for Planting Thunbergia Climbers - Heirloom & Open Pollinated Seed to Cover a Fence or Trellis & Attract Pollinators (2 Packs (200 Seeds))

I've been growing these seeds for about a week, and the seeds are sprouting I'm excited to see how well they'll do! So far so good!

New England zone 6A/6B here. For years, I’d planted black-eyed Susan vine seeds in my Earth Box beneath a large black iron trellis. When flowering against my old and weathered cedar shingled home, the trellis’s vines always became a stunning invitation to my container fruit trees and culinary herb garden beyond. Late last winter, I invested in an indoor 5-shelf double ballast grow light system to help jump start my spring planting. At first, I started these Thunbergia vine seeds under the ballasts in little Jiffy peat pots and put the pallet under the ballasts. Big mistake — never use peat pots! While the seeds germinated, each seedling’s roots fixed inextricably into the otherwise hard peat pot’s sides! Every seedling failed extrication, and I had to start over. It was no fault of the seed, just peat potting. My second package, I started the seeds in larger silicone cells under the ballasts. Likewise, they took off. I seamlessly transferred the germinated the plugs into my Earth Box. While the vines and deep green foliage took off upon transplanting, none of them flowered until late August. Now nearly end of September (and 24-hour temps ranging from high 40s to low 70s), the vines are flowering like no tomorrow, exploding their blooms against their still-dark foliage and barely visible trellis, and remind me why I love gardening.

I was SO impressed with the quality of the seeds and the quality of this vine! I've never grown Thunbergia before, but I had great success with germination from the seeds and every plant I had survived the entire season. I am in late December in North Texas (we've had a very mild December) and a couple of my vines are STILL blooming!! They do take a little while to take off, but once they do they grow so fast. They also do not flower in extreme heat. I had flowers starting in the spring, and then with our extreme Texas heat I had to wait until early fall to start seeing flowers on it again. But once our nights cooled down, the blooms were prolific! You can see in one photo I also grew it in one location on my back fence along with Purple Hyacinth Bean Vine. They look so pretty together.

Easy to germinate.

Planted in may, didn’t bloom until November… ( Ohio) I’m a seasoned gardener. Idk if these seeds are just not very viable or what?

I’m was very pleased with my order.

Took awhile but pretty! I wanted a cascading flower vine for my deck so I started from seed indoors way back in March. Took quite some time to grow and didn’t really take off until July. It’s a vibrant green. Pretty flowers but not as many as I’d hoped.

I directly showed the seeds & I was pleased to see a very high germination rate. The vines were covered with flowers throughout the warm season.
