Thunbergia alata
Rose Sensation

We are so excited about this rosy twist on the classic Black-Eyed Susan Vine. Thunbergia alata ‘Rose Sensation’ brings extra-large 2" blooms in rich rose that soften to pink as they age, creating an enchanting multicolored effect against lush green, arrow-shaped foliage. Each flower has that signature dark “black eye,” making the rosy petals look even brighter and more irresistible.

Fast-growing and wonderfully floriferous, ‘Rose Sensation’ Black-Eyed Susan Vine is an easy choice for obelisks, trellises, arbors, fences, and large containers where it can twine upward and create a dense curtain of leaves and flowers. In colder zones, grow it as a summer annual blooming from June through September. In USDA Zones 9b–11, it can be evergreen and nearly ever-blooming.

Plant Thunbergia alata ‘Rose Sensation’ in full sun to part shade with rich, well-drained soil for the best show. Hummingbirds love the blooms, and gardeners love the instant vertical charm.
