This black-eyed susan vine erupts in warm red-orange blooms from early summer straight through fall frost, delivering months of continuous color without the fussiness of high-maintenance vines. It's compact enough for containers yet vigorous enough to clothe a trellis or arbor, and it actively attracts pollinators, turning your garden into a hub for butterflies and hummingbirds. The dark center eye creates a striking contrast that draws the eye and photographs beautifully.
Sunny Susy Red Orange thrives as an ornamental flowering vine, perfect for training along trellises, arbors, and fence lines where its prolific blooms create a living tapestry of warm color. It excels in container gardening, allowing gardeners in cooler climates to grow it as an annual in large pots that can be moved indoors or enjoyed on patios and decks throughout the growing season.
