TORENIA hybrids
CATALINA ®
CATALINA ® varieties are high-value plants with an extra
helping of heat tolerance and oversized blooms. They are also
among the few varieties that bloom in full shade. Encourage
your retailers to create simple bench cards that say “Flowers
for Shade", and you’ll see sales soar.

GROWING TIPS
» Prefers warmer production temperatures; cold, wet conditions can
slow growth.
» Light shade is best for optimal growth.
» 200 ppm fertilizer for optimal growth.
» For all sizes of containers, pinch the liner 1–2 weeks after transplant; for
containers larger than 6" and for hanging baskets, trim around the edge
of the container as needed prior to spacing or hanging of the baskets.
» Bronzed foliage is likely indicative of too cold of temperature and/or too
high of light.
