| Description |
Common name: White Clock Vine, Bengal Clock Vine, Bengal Trumpet Vine, Sky Flower, Sky Vine, Trumpet Vine, Trompeta emparrada bengalí (Spanish) Botanical name: Thunbergia grandiflora - [ (thun-BER-jee-uh) named after Carl Peter Thunberg, 19th century Swedish botanist; (gran-dih-FLOR-uh) with large flowers ] Cultivar: Alba Family: Acanthaceae (acanthus or ruellia family) - [ (ah-kanth-AY-see-ay) from the Greek Ãikantha, meaning thorn, spine, or spike ] Origin: India From a distance, this twining, flowering vine looks like a morning glory and even up close the flowers are quite similar. The tubular flowers of the skyflower vine are a little deeper, about 3 in (7.6 cm) long, and are borne in drooping clusters. The most commonly seen varieties are sky blue to light violet although there is a white flowered type as well. Leaves are leathery and have a distinctive elongated heart shape. The plant grows fast in warm weather, easily covering a trellis or large section of fence in one season. It is one of the most free flowering vines for shade in the South and is underused due to lack of distribution. Growth slows or stops in cool temperatures, and the top is killed to the ground after a freeze. In frost free climates, it is evergreen.
