Black-eyed Susan vine is commonly grown in the Midwest as a season annual to provide color in a vertical setting. This trailing or twining vine grows rapidly from seeds, reaching up to 8 feet in a single season under ideal conditions. The plant is a rambler, climbing by twining (growing in a spiral up a support) rather than by clinging or producing tendrils as some other vines do. Showy flowers in shades of orange and yellow are produced singly in the leaf axils.
