they come in seeds? When is the best time of year to plant. Thanks...


Assuming you mean Thunbergia, (orange with black 'eyes' at the centre)
They are easy to start from seed providing it is warm enough. Here in
London they don't really take off until the temp gets up near to 20 C

Sow in spring in ordinary pots of seed compost.

Well now, there's a perfect example of why not to post common names only.
I automatically assumed Rudbeckia, not Thunbergia!
