Catalina® Gilded Grape™ Wishbone Flower

Catalina® Gilded Grape™ is a compact, mounded Torenia hybrid with yellow, funnel-shaped flowers. The [Proven Winners profile](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/torenia/catalina-gilded-grape-wishbone-flower-torenia) lists yellow flower color; the [DANCAT266 patent](https://patents.google.com/patent/USPP20242P2/en) describes pale-yellow petals and a yellow mark on the lower petal. Proven Winners lists spring and summer flowers, an 8–16-inch garden height, an 8–10-inch spread, and trailing stems up to 24 inches. ## Garden Placement Use this annual as a container filler, in a hanging basket, or in a landscape combination. The product profile lists sun or shade, heat tolerance, a long flowering season, and a self-cleaning habit. It also notes that birds and hummingbirds may visit and that the plant resists deer. ## Seasonal Display The patent also describes a compact, rounded, cascading bush. Proven Winners lists zones 10a–11b and flowering from planting until frost. The upright mound can fill a pot while stems trail over its rim. ## Maintenance The flowers are self-cleaning, so deadheading is unnecessary. Water regularly, especially in containers, and use a well-drained potting medium. Apply fertilizer to container plants as appropriate for the potting mix and growing conditions; adjust care to local heat, light, and rainfall.
