I would love to hear any experiences with this flower. It looks gorgeous!

-- what tone are the colors? The pictures I see look dark carmine-rose, but the descriptions say red. Is it hot, red red, or a pinkish red?

-- how high did it grow for you? I would like it to grow 7 feet or so so I can see it through my bedroom window. I know that the seed company descriptions of height can be way off, so I wanted some real experiences/

-- does it really do OK in partial shade? I think this spot gets 4 hours of sun in the summer months. I grew morning glory there one year and it did OK, and it did bloom, though t was slightly leggy.

-- any recommendations for other thunbergia mixes that aren't hot orange or yellow? I seem to recall an ivory strain. Salmons and peaches are good too.

Thank you!
