Help id'ing a plant

10 years ago

I really don't know where to go on the gardening forum, so I'm taking a chance and asking here. I bought a flat of these at a sale last summer. No tags whatsoever. Some were this color and white, some were dark purple and white, some were sort of two shades of white.

The flowers themselves were hmmmm, maybe 2" long. The plants spread out very well. I'd like to get more this summer.

Any ideas?

At that size it could be a number of things. Probably need to wait while it grows out some more.

Cardamine bulbosa, or similar. But that's just a guess. It really needs a shot of the leaves to lock down the ID.

You could also visit the Annuals Forum for more details about the culture of torenia. I've been recommending it for a long time as a substitute for the problematic impatiens, as something that will thrive in semi-shady locations.
