Harris Seeds Torenia Vertigo Seed

These are pelleted seeds, which makes them easier to handle during sowing. Because they require light to germinate, it is important not to cover the seeds with soil; simply press them into the surface of your growing medium.

Torenia Vertigo Magenta is specifically bred for heat and humidity tolerance. Unlike some other varieties that may wilt or stop flowering in mid-summer, this hybrid maintains its deep rose color and continuous blooms even in challenging climates.

While they are excellent for containers, they also perform well in landscape designs. Ensure the soil temperature is consistently between 70-75°F before transplanting them outdoors in the spring to ensure successful establishment.

One of the primary benefits of this hybrid variety is its continuous blooming habit. While light grooming can keep plants looking tidy, the flowers are designed to provide season-long color without the need for constant deadheading.

These plants are versatile and can thrive in both full sun and partial sun conditions. If you live in an area with particularly intense afternoon heat, partial shade can help keep the foliage looking its best.

With a plant spread of 6-8 inches, these are compact growers. They are ideal for tight spacing in containers or as a dense, colorful border in a landscape design.
