It has trumpet-shaped flowers in shades of violet, purple or bi-color; Some varieties pair violet petals with a contrasting yellow throat
Annuals are perfect for planting in patio containers or your landscape gardens to add bold, seasonal color

Use these beautiful blooms when creating garden borders, lining your walkways with color, planting in your own container combinations, or around a mailbox
Plant with other colorful annuals, perennials, or grasses to create texture and interest in your landscape or container
Torenia grows well in rich, moist, well-drained soil; It can handle partial shade to full sun, though it is not a fan of hot, humid weather
