It prefers sun but will take partial shade. It will not stand the heat
of summer itself. It will survive it, but not bloom through it. Right
now it's blooming. Park Seed has seeds for this, as well as for many
other southern favorites (this is a long link--search on thunbergia,
black eyed susan):

If you like thunbergia you may want to try cypress vine (a/k/a
cardinal climber), an ipomoea/relative of morning glories, with pretty
cut leaves and small, red trumpet-shaped flowers attractive to
hummingbirds (also returning to bloom now that it's cooler). Cypress
vine is usually to be found on seed-packet racks around town, which
isn't the case with clockvine.
