Know before you buy
Yes, these are pelleted seeds, which are coated to make them larger and more uniform. This makes them much easier to see and handle compared to raw, dust-like flower seeds.
While Torenia is often associated with shade, the Vertigo series is specifically bred for full sun performance. For the best results and continuous blooming, plant them in a location that receives full sun exposure.
With a spread of 6 to 8 inches, you can comfortably space these plants about 6 inches apart. This density will create a lush, full look in your pots or hanging baskets.
One of the benefits of this hybrid variety is its continuous blooming habit. While light grooming can keep containers looking tidy, the plants are designed to bloom reliably throughout the season without constant deadheading.
The Vertigo White F1 is specifically engineered to tolerate extreme heat and humidity. Unlike some traditional garden flowers that wilt or stop blooming in mid-summer, this variety maintains its vigor and flower quality in challenging weather.
