Suntory's extraordinary breeding achievement. Summer Wave® torenias thrive in summer heat, when other torenias wilt. They tolerate dry soil too. And, they flower all season, yielding a much higher bloom count. With a lush trailing habit and vigorous growth, they're perfect for shady beds or hanging baskets. Self-cleaning and well-branching, they require very little maintenance.
