Thunbergia battiscombei

TENDER vine with rich royal purple, flared pouch flowers! The blooms are a big 3 across and have a yellow throat. From tropical Africa, this vine is a restrained grower happy at 3 vertical feet, so it lends itself to containerizing to move under cover during winter. Surprisingly easy enjoys bright light, good soil and regular moisture (not soggy!). Can be coaxed to 6or cut back in early spring to make a fountain shaped perennial. Hardy to 24 degrees.
