Torenia seeds - Flower Plant for Home Gardens

Torenia seeds produce compact, warm-season annual plants with a bushy to slightly spreading growth habit and soft, green foliage. These plants develop small, tubular blooms over an extended period and are well suited to warm, humid climates. Torenia performs best in partial shade with well-drained, fertile soil and consistent moisture. Ideal for garden beds, borders, hanging baskets, and containers, the plants establish quickly and provide continuous seasonal color.
