I have grown these for 2 years and have thoroughly enjoyed them. Mine have not gotten more then 3 ft in height, but that could change with age. As they mature and flower on a regular basis, I will update the information.

The shrub variety shown at the bottom is called Thunbergia Erecta (King's Mantle)
