Add Vibrant Colour and Life to Your Garden with Thunbergia 'Harmony Trio'

The Thunbergia 'Harmony Trio', commonly known as Black-Eyed Susan Vine, is a fast-growing annual climber prized for its showy, trumpet-shaped flowers. This variety produces a lively mix of colours—yellow, orange, and white—each bloom featuring a bold dark centre that draws the eye. Native to tropical East Africa, Thunbergia alata is loved for its ability to quickly cover vertical spaces and add instant impact to gardens.
