Torenia Amethyst Seeds. Torenia fournieri; Torenia Asiatica; Torenia crustacean; 1. Cultivars are available in many colors including pink, rose, white, and burgundy. I’m thinking maybe it’s the potting soil you used… sometimes those potting soils have a lot of nitrogen in them, which makes for great foliage but not so many flowers. Now I have a green well shaped but flower less plant.
I clipped it back after flowers gradually dropped off, but despite fertilizer and shade/sun I see no blossoms forming. Torenia fournieri is a valuable addition to gardens that do not receive full sun.
They are Torenia asiatica, which is called wishbone flower, and Torenia fournieri, also known as bluewings.
One Merel Black at the University of Wisconsin herbarium responded with the name: Torenia fournieri.
Torenia fournieri 'Clown Series' Wishbone flower is a small, bushy annual that is especially valuable because it blooms abundantly in shady conditions. Then it blossomed and I was captivated by the unusual, small, blue and white flowers.
