Flowers of various bright colors, from white and pink, to yellow and orange with a dark center (up to 5 cm in diameter), solitary, which appear from May to autumn.

Thunbergia is widely used for vertical gardening, decorating low hedges, as well as for decorating balconies, terraces, winter gardens and as a houseplant.

Agricultural technology.
Very easy to grow. Photophilous. Grows well in rich, moist soils containing lime. For the winter, you can dig up and keep at a moderate temperature and watering in a well-lit room, while the tunbergia blooms earlier and blooms more abundantly.
Sowing: for seedlings in February-March on the surface of a moistened and compacted substrate, lightly covering the seeds with soil. Seedlings appear at a temperature of +18+20°C for 15-21 days. Seedlings dive at the stage of 2 true leaves. In open ground - when the threat of frost has passed, the distance between plants is 50 cm.
Care: plentiful watering, weeding, loosening and top dressing 2 times a month. For better branching, seedlings are pinched over 3-4 pairs of leaves. Winged Thunbergia needs supports that it could wrap around. Prefers sunny, warm places, if possible not in the wind.
Blooms in August-September (further plants from the street can be moved indoors).
