Torenia thrives in shade where heat-loving annuals struggle, and it flowers steadily from planting through August without complaint. The delicate blooms keep appearing even when other shade plants peter out by midsummer.

Set it in a spot that gets morning sun or dappled light all day, keep soil consistently moist, and let it do the work. A single 4" plant fills a shady corner or edges a bed with reliable color all season long.
