Torenia ‘Wishbone Flower Kauai Magenta’
Botanical Name: Torenia fournieri
Type: Tender Annual

Torenia ‘Kauai Magenta’ is a compact, floriferous variety of the delightful Wishbone Flower, named for the wishbone-shaped stamens found inside each bloom. This variety features vibrant magenta-pink flowers with contrasting yellow throats, blooming abundantly from late spring to autumn. Perfect for shady spots, hanging baskets, containers, and borders, it thrives where many other flowers won’t — bringing colour to the cool and the covered.
