Hello Paul, It's a Thunbergia ( Black-eyed Susie)- I only bought plants of it last year and it is perennial as I have managed to over-winter some in my greenhouse. There are annual seeds Thunbergia alata called 'Susie mixed' and they are easy to grow |

Did you just put canes in the pot or is there an obelisk....never tried growing climbers in a pot.....given me food for thought.
Lovely pic and well done with your prize.

Hello ziggy, There was a cane in the pot with some Clematis support wrapped around it - the idea was that I would have a column of Thunbergia - didn't quite work |
