Seed Needs Black-Eyed Susan Vine Seeds for Planting Thunbergia Climbers - Heirloom & Open Pollinated Seed to Cover a Fence or Trellis & Attract Pollinators (2 Packs (200 Seeds))

I planted half of the package and every seed came up! Wonderful

New England zone 6A/6B here. For years, I’d planted black-eyed Susan vine seeds in my Earth Box beneath a large black iron trellis. When flowering against my old and weathered cedar shingled home, the trellis’s vines always became a stunning invitation to my container fruit trees and culinary herb garden beyond. Late last winter, I invested in an indoor 5-shelf double ballast grow light system to help jump start my spring planting. At first, I started these Thunbergia vine seeds under the ballasts in little Jiffy peat pots and put the pallet under the ballasts. Big mistake — never use peat pots! While the seeds germinated, each seedling’s roots fixed inextricably into the otherwise hard peat pot’s sides! Every seedling failed extrication, and I had to start over. It was no fault of the seed, just peat potting. My second package, I started the seeds in larger silicone cells under the ballasts. Likewise, they took off. I seamlessly transferred the germinated the plugs into my Earth Box. While the vines and deep green foliage took off upon transplanting, none of them flowered until late August. Now nearly end of September (and 24-hour temps ranging from high 40s to low 70s), the vines are flowering like no tomorrow, exploding their blooms against their still-dark foliage and barely visible trellis, and remind me why I love gardening.

They are planted and growing!

These are coming up now, excited to watch them grow. Getting a trellis for them to climb on, These seeds came up in good time,would recommend to purchase. Have a great day.

Not a single seed germinated.

So far so good. Seeds were started both indoors and out. I was a bit worried about the outdoor plantings, as a cold spell hit. But, happy to say I now have lots of little seedlings. The the hard part of waiting for the beautiful flowers to bloom.

Had this plant last year so decided to start my own this year. Planted 10 seeds and so far every seed came up & plants are very healthy.

They all grew.
