Location and care

Torenia fournieri 'Kauai™ White' grows best in the right location and with regular care:

• Sun/Light: Part shade to light shade; full sun can cause stress during the hottest periods

• Soil: airy, moist, well-drained and moderately nutritious

• Water: Keep evenly moist, especially in pots — never allow the root ball to dry out completely

• Fertilization: weekly liquid or light organic fertilizer encourages continuous flowering

With sufficient water and nutrition, the plant will remain full, compact and produce flowers for a long time until the first cold night arrives.

Application in garden and design

Kauai™ White is extremely versatile and fits into almost any summer planting concept:

• Hanging baskets: rich flowering and slightly drooping growth create an elegant, playful effect

• Patio and balcony pots: white radiates tranquility and makes color combinations more powerful

• Borders in semi-shaded areas where many plants flower less profusely

• Mix & match in containers: combines beautifully with brightly colored summer bloomers

• Floral arrangements & mini-cut pieces: small flowers can be used in table centrepieces and delicate arrangements

Combination tips:

✔ Verbena for colour contrast
✔ Bacopa , Lobelia or Calibrachoa for rich planting
✔ Heliotropium or Coleus for leaf texture and shade combinations

The white flowers bring peace, light, freshness and refinement — perfect as an accent plant or a harmonizing color carrier.
