Catalina^® Midnight Blue Wishbone Flower Torenia hybrid

I grew this plant last year on my balcony, which has northeast exposure. It performed amazingly well, disease-free, any special care-free, blooming all the time, from late June to late November. It was a real joy for my eyes!

I loved this plant! However, you state that dead heading may be unnecessary, I disagree. When planted in a planter it definitely looks better when regularly dead headed. When dead heading is not performed, the spent petals stick to the underlying leaves making for an unattractive look. I also took the plant up onto my porch when it rained, because the rain caused the petals to stick to the underlying leaves and fade quicker than when kept dry. I did not mind performing the deadheading. I bought this plant in May and it performed well through late September. There were many blooms all throughout the growing period. I needed a plant near my side entrance, which does not get much sun, and this plant was perfect for it. I will definitely buy this plant again next year.

Torenia, in different colors, and different types, are all I plant - they are all yours, too.

I love this plant! This year is the first time I've seen it and I decided to try it and have been plesantly surprised by how many blooms it has produced this summer. Today it's 107 degrees and as long as I keep it watered it's doing just fine.
