October 31, 2018A.Black eyed susan vine, Thunbergia, is native to Africa and there it is a perennial vine. You have 4 main options at this point in autumn. 1. save some seed; 2. take tip cuttings and root them; 3. trim it back keeping it as a houseplant over winter; or assign it to the compost pile. If you are growing a fine hybrid Thunbergia, just be aware that seeds will not recreate all of the hybrid's characteristics. If you decide to take it indoors as a houseplant, don't expect it to flower while inside and it may get rather ragged looking without supplemental light. After all danger of frost has passed in spring, back to the garden it goes. Your choice!

November 14, 2018A.You can cut back this plant about halfway or more once it has finished blooming, removing spent flower stalks, and a second bloom might occur in late fall. In fall, you can cut this perennial back to 2 inches above the soil line if the plant is diseased or you consider the dead stems unattractive.

CW8 4QNQ.My black eyed Susan dried out in the very hot weather while I was away. I cut it right down to stalks near the ground, and there is
no sight of anything on it at the moment. Do you think it’s died? I only cut it because it had completely turned brown and wilted and dry

March 14, 2019A.If the roots dried out severely it may not come back.
Cutting it back to about 6 inches from the ground and wait and see is the best advice I can give.Was this answer useful?00 - Asked by

August 17, 2019A.You've heard the term "Never say never". I have neither heard of or seen Japanese beetles attack Thumbergia, aka black-eyed susan vine. I do get them on my calla lily and perennial hibiscus, although not as badly as on the roses. The following article has some most loved, most averse plants regarding problems with Japanese beetles. It also goes into detail on control measures. Treating your lawn for grubs may help a lot. I have heard of gardeners resorting to hand-held vacuums to gather the beetles. Maybe that isn't as distasteful as flicking them into a pail of soapy water but be sure to empty and maybe wash out the vacuum container before taking it back into the house. https://entomology.ca.uky.edu/ef451

Certified ExpertA.There are other wildflowers that resemble black eyed Susan but have a yellow center. In any case, eradication would be the same.
This article tells how to dig out the clump. Black-eyed Susan can be persistent, so after digging, I would keep an eye out for any returning pieces of the plant and dig again, or apply an herbicide.
