Torenia Summer Wave is just beautiful. It is cascading summer plant the simply works. Does very well in morning sun to light afternoon sun. I do not recommend to use it in the 3-5pm sun as it will bronze the foliage. It can be planted in a raised bed and with Dolce Creme Brulee.

Torenia are somewhat of a legacy in the Proven Winners spring collection. This year, one of Proven Winners most popular varieties is joined by Large Violet, a larger version of ‘Blue (Violet)’. This filtered-sun lover provides superb color throughout even the hottest months of the year and does well in pots and window boxes. Like all the rest of the Summer Waves, this plant thrives in high humidity. Plant it alone, or combine it with Sutera cordata (Bacopa) or Supertunias®.
