Summery Love Pure White is a new torenia variety that wowed the judges for its pure white coloration that sported larger blooms than the comparisons. This variety bloomed consistently over a long, wet, hot, and humid summer and showed better vigor and health than other similar varieties that are currently available. “This [is a variety that] should be used in mass plantings for a great showing!” stated one judge. At only 8 inches tall, Summery Love maintains a compact plant over the season but has more branches and more flowers for a durable show of pure white color.

12” tall plants produced a profusion of large crisp white blooms set atop the light green foliage. Plants were full and bushy and bloom right up until frost. Torenia is best in shade to part shade in the south.
