Summer Wave Bouq. White Torenia

Bring a touch of pure, peaceful beauty to your shade garden with the elegant Torenia Summer Wave White. This soft, trailing bloomer fills containers and garden beds with delicate white flowers kissed with a hint of yellow at the center. Perfect for hanging baskets, shady porches, and tucked-under trees, it’s a graceful favorite that quietly brightens up the places the sun doesn’t always reach.

Plant History:
Torenia, also lovingly known as “Wishbone Flower,” has long been a treasured choice for gardeners who want color in the shade. The Summer Wave series was developed for improved heat tolerance and longer bloom time—making it a dependable choice for Southern summers. The White variety brings a timeless purity to any landscape.

What It Signifies:
White flowers represent peace, sincerity, and kindness—values that speak straight to the heart of small-town living. Torenia’s gentle blooms are a reminder of the quiet beauty in life’s slower moments.

Maximum Height:
Grows 6–10 inches tall with a lovely spreading or trailing habit up to 18–24 inches wide—perfect for overflowing baskets, container edges, or front borders.

Bloom Time:
Blooms continuously from late spring through early fall, even during the heat of summer. Its self-cleaning flowers keep your garden looking fresh without extra fuss.

Where It Grows Best:
Thrives in part to full shade, especially in moist, well-draining soil. It’s a favorite for covered porches, under tree canopies, or on the shadier side of your home.

Care Instructions:

• Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist—especially in containers.

• Feed every 2–3 weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer.

• No deadheading necessary—blooms fall cleanly on their own.

• Trim lightly if needed to shape or encourage fullness.

Complimentary Plants:
Pairs beautifully with Coleus, Caladiums, Begonias, and Impatiens. Add trailing Sweet Potato Vine or Bacopa for a layered, elegant container. For a full-shade border, mix with Hostas or Ferns to create a calm, classic look.
