Torelus combines the smooth-textured, nonsticky blooms of Torenia with the heat tolerance of Mimulus, and the result is very bold, bright, often orchid-spotted blooms in yellow, orangey red, and magenta purple. Happy in full sun in northern and short-summer climates, partial to full shade farther south and west, these plants reach 1 to 2 feet high and wide, filling containers beautifully and flowering very dependably all summer.
Butterflies and bees visit Torelus frequently, while deer prefer to nibble on other plants. This annual makes a terrific companion to everything from Begonia and Caladium to Calla, Hypoestes, shade-tolerant varieties of Coleus, ferns, and more! Mounded, very densely branched, and free-flowering, they are the ideal bright spot in the darker areas of the garden, patio, and deck.
