Thunbergia grandiflora

Overview

Blue trumpet vine, or Thunbergia grandiflora, is a native evergreen climber with beautiful, large, blue flowers. Its blooms resemble trumpets, hence its common name. This lovely, twining plant has long, red-tinged stems, thick green leaves, and bright blue tubular flowers that bloom in summer and continue until early autumn. It's deciduous and easy to cultivate, so it makes a perfect addition to any garden. It works best when grown on a sturdy trellis, fence or arbor, and will reward you with a brilliant splash of colour year-round.
