I have 2 Black Eyed Susies, bought in the spring, which have been on my south facing balcony. They haven't grown much (very poor summer, NE England!). How best to prepare them for winter? - I do not have a greenhouse.

    I've never over-wintered them. Best to grow as an annual.

    Thunbergia is not usually overwintered in this country, especially as it is quite easy from seed.
