Description

Torenia (Torenia fournieri), or Wishbone Flower, delights with its trumpet-shaped blooms in combinations of purple, pink, blue and white, each marked with a contrasting “wishbone” pattern. Suited for Florida’s shade gardens, it thrives in part to full shade and rich, moist, well-drained soil. Water consistently to maintain moisture and fertilize monthly. Pinch back stems to encourage branching and more flowers. Use Torenia in hanging baskets, window boxes or as a colorful underplanting beneath shrubs to brighten shady corners.
