Torenia fournieri, the wishbone flower, is a dainty warm-season annual carrying small, trumpet-shaped flowers in blue, purple, pink and white, each with a contrasting yellow-blotched throat and the tiny wishbone-shaped stamens that give it its name. Compact and mounding or gently trailing, it brings colour to shaded and partly shaded spots, thriving in the warmth and humidity of the Indian monsoon and summer. Excellent in pots, baskets and shaded borders, torenia is an easy, cheerful alternative to impatiens, flowering freely with little fuss and attracting bees and butterflies.
