Orange Thunbergia Black-Eyed Susan Vine Flower Seeds

They grew just fine,I planted every seed. The only aspect I am frustrated about is that I planted them back in May,it is now mid-July and they are just starting to climb the fence but have not bloomed. So I am going to try to plant them inside around February 2021 and plant them as soon is it is safe to do so. Otherwise it will be the entire summer again before I see anything.

For years, I’d been germinating my black-eyed susan vines from another popular seed brand indoors (let’s just use their initials — “B-I”), then transplanted them to my carefully chosen morning-to-early-afternoon-sun-exposed Earth Box and iron trellis. While each year the seedlings’ growths and winding about the trellis were impressive, their flowering never came anything close to the promises on the seed package let alone their bountiful ‘testimonial’ florid displays. I was lucky if I saw 10 flowers from an entire seed packet. I knew I had the perfect location sun-wise for my zone on the seeds’ needs. So this year, I germinated these Outside Pride seeds, along with the “BIs.” I transplanted the 4 best BI seedlings into the back of my Earth Box, then transplanted the best 7 Outside Pride seedlings into the front and back flanks. As before, the BIs have overtaken the trellis, but only in foliage. Today, I see the Outside Prides are rising to the challenge.

I have attempted to germinate about 50 of the seeds so far with no success. I've used peat pots, a seed tray with a mix of potting soil and seed starter, and a third tray with seed starting medium placed on a heating pad; some of the seeds were soaked overnight and some planted directly into the soil/medium. None of them have germinated, leading me to wonder if I received an old batch that was past its viability. I'll try the remaining 50 or so and update in a couple of weeks, but I'm not hopeful.

My plant arrived much earlier then expected. I'm very excited to get it since I will not be going to any nursery's this year due to the virus. I'd love the seller to reply to this post. I'd like to know if this was dug out of the ground and put in the pot you shipped it in? It seems like it's going through shock. Also, I'd like to know when it was last fertilized, if ever. I'd like to fertilize it now, but afraid to. I will have to keep it in my home for several weeks until the frost is gone, and plan to babysit this plant to death, (well, hopefully not to death), but I had this plant last year, and it was so beautiful I 'm hoping I can get this one to look so good. That plant came straight out of a green house and was nice and clean, and lush, ( I believe they told me it was 4 different plants) this one is pretty "gritty"', like its been in the ground during rain or watering? I plan to add some seeds to the soil once I repot it, so I can have a bushier plant.

I am very optimistic! Too early for end result but mine are sprouting in less than a week! I presoaked for 24 hours,then kept seeds on a wet paper towel covered by a wet paper towel since.also have all my seeds on a warming tray for seeds ( new this year). I have to keep moist 2-3 times/day as the heat must dry my paper towels out but they have sprouted in less than a week this way.even though paper towels get dry,the have not been dry to point that seeds have had constant supply of moisture. I am very optimistic and will transplant to soil this week.👍update,in soil.got over 15 pots with 3 plants /pot and they are about 5” tall! I’m going to trellis very soon. Very pleased! Trellised couple days ago and are really taking off! ( first 2 photos while growing indoors,last photo on porch middle of July

not blooming fast enough

All seeds germinated when soaked, and boy did they grow fast. I can't wait to see the beautiful flowers on my vines!

These sprouted very well. Have to wait a while for the flowers I guess. They're about a foot tall & none yet.

Quantity is very less.
