Botanical name | Torenia hybrid |
Flowering | All year round in warmer climates; otherwise from early spring to late autumn. |
Habit | Summer Wave® plants have a trailing habit. Unlike similar plants on the market, Summer Wave® plants are perennial, which makes Summer Wave® very unique. |
Use | Ideal for use as a ground cover in a shaded part of the garden, or in hanging baskets. |
Position | Summer Wave® plants really do love the heat of summer as their name suggests. Heat is one thing but light is another! Summer Wave® plants prefer filtered light to perform at their best. Exposure to filtered light will allow the flowers to reach their true size and colour. If you’re looking for a trailing plant that flowers for many months and loves the shade, then Summer Wave® is just what you need. |
Care | Water adequately but not excessively. No need to prune as Summer Wave® is self-cleaning! Due to the large amount of flowers produced by Summer Wave® plants, they require a regular application of fertiliser. Use a high-nitrogen fertiliser. For plants growing in containers, apply fertiliser every two weeks; for plants growing in the ground apply fertiliser monthly. |
