Summary

[edit]
Description

Common name: Trompeta emparrada bengalí (Spanish), {Bengal Clock Vine, Bengal Trumpet Vine, Blue Sky Flower, Blue Sky Vine, Blue Trumpet Vine} (English), Nil lata नील लता (Hindi), Tumakhlung (Gujarati), Nil lota (Bengali)

Botanical name: Thunbergia grandiflora - [ (thun-BER-jee-uh) named after Carl Peter Thunberg, 19th century Swedish botanist; (gran-dih-FLOR-uh) with large flowers ] Family: Acanthaceae (acanthus or ruellia family) - [ (ah-kanth-AY-see-ay) from the Greek Ãikantha, meaning thorn, spine, or spike ]

Origin: India

The most striking blue flowered vine in the world, with a robust and twining habit producing long hanging clusters of 3" sky blue funnel shaped flowers from fall through spring, displayed throughout its dense deep green foliage. Can be trellised or arbored to create a spectacular sight! Hardy to freezing. Can be used as a background shrub if allowed to sprawl at the rear of a bed. It is also pretty clambering up a mail box or lamp post.

Thunbergia grandiflora is similar to Thunbergia laurifolia, T. grandiflora leaves are heart-shaped.
