Sunrise Mix Thunbergia is a dazzling blend of colorful Black-Eyed Susan Vines that brings a cheerful explosion of color to trellises, fences, hanging baskets, and garden structures. This beautiful mixture features blooms in shades of golden yellow, orange, apricot, cream, white, and soft salmon, many accented by the classic dark "eye" that gives the species its famous name.

Fast-growing and exceptionally floriferous, Sunrise Mix produces a continuous display of flowers from early summer until frost. Its compact climbing habit makes it ideal for both large landscapes and smaller patio gardens, while its nectar-rich blooms attract butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds throughout the season.

Germination Information

Seeds germinate easily when provided warmth and consistent moisture.

  • Sow seeds approximately 1/4 inch deep.
  • Maintain temperatures between 70 and 80°F.
  • Keep soil evenly moist.
  • Provide bright light.
  • Germination generally occurs within 7 to 21 days.

Indoor sowing 6 to 8 weeks before the final frost date often produces earlier flowering plants.

Growing Information

Sunrise Mix Thunbergia thrives in full sun to partial shade and performs best in fertile, well-drained soils.

Regular watering encourages continuous flowering throughout the growing season. Plants benefit from occasional feeding to support vigorous growth and bloom production.

Provide supports such as trellises, netting, or decorative structures for climbing stems.

Container Growing

This mix is one of the finest flowering vines for hanging baskets and decorative containers. Plants may be trained upward on supports or allowed to spill naturally over the edges of containers.

Its manageable size makes it particularly suitable for patios, balconies, decks, and small-space gardens.
