Black-Eyed Susan Vine has yellow or orange, five-petalled flowers with dark centers. It's a good choice for pillars, trellises and hanging baskets.
Thunbergia alata is hardy in zones 9-10, where it can climb to 10 feet or more, but it's grown as a shorter annual vine elsewhere. It grows best with rich, moist, well-drained soil, and it likes regular watering and fertilizing.
