Catalina® Midnight Blue™ Wishbone Flower

Catalina® Midnight Blue™ is a mounded, freely branching Torenia hybrida with blue-purple flowers and green foliage. 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. See the [Proven Winners profile](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/torenia/catalina-midnight-blue-wishbone-flower-torenia) for its garden traits. ## Garden Placement Use this annual in containers, hanging baskets, or landscape combinations, where its blue-purple flowers can spill over the edge of a pot. The [Dancat911 patent](https://patents.google.com/patent/USPP17878P2/en) describes a uniformly mounded habit, continuous flowering, and light blue-purple flowers. The product page lists sun or shade, heat tolerance, a self-cleaning habit, and zones 10–11. ## Seasonal Display Its compact mound and cascading branches work well as a container filler or low planting. The product profile also notes that birds and hummingbirds may visit, and that deer resistance is reported. The flowering season is listed as spring and summer, continuing through the growing season in favorable conditions. ## Maintenance Deadheading is not needed for the self-cleaning flowers. Water regularly, particularly in pots, and use a well-drained growing medium. Place the plant according to local heat and light conditions, since the profile lists performance in sun or shade and zones 10–11.
