Thunbergia alata ‘Rosa Sensation’ (Black-eyed Susan)

Thunbergia alata ‘Rose Sensation’ is a delicate and exceptionally attractive variety, valued for its flowers in refined shades of powder pink to salmon pink, each with a deeply contrasting, velvety black center – a detail that gives it its distinctive “eye.” The plant grows vigorously and has excellent coverage ability, making it ideal for vertical decoration.

Decorative use:

It is an excellent choice for hanging pots, window boxes, trellises, pergolas, or as a trailing plant on sunny balconies and terraces. It creates a romantic and airy effect, thanks to the combination of pastel flowers and fresh green, heart-shaped foliage.

Growing conditions:

• Light: requires direct sun or bright partial shade

• Soil: well-drained, moderately fertile

• Watering: consistent, without waterlogging – substrate slightly moist

• Optimal temperature: 18–28°C

• Cold tolerance: does not tolerate temperatures below 10°C – in Romania it is grown as an annual or overwintered in a protected space

Advantages and recommendations:

• Fast growth, ideal for hiding fences, grids, or unsightly walls

• Abundant flowering throughout the warm season

• Easy to shape and train on supports

• Flowers attract butterflies and other beneficial insects
