Abstract

A new and attractive hybrid of Torenia plant, named `Sunrenipiho`, attained as a spontaneous mutation of `Sunrenibu`. The new plant has a less decumbent, more ascending or semi-upright habit and an uncommonly dense canopy of an attractive mounded form which does not collapse during the season. This plant produces a profusion of flowers of petals of contrasting strong reddish-purple and white, with a reddish-purple corolla tube coloration; and has a high resistance to heat, moderate resistance to pests and diseases and is highly shade tolerant to produce copious flowers from about late June to November, or until killed by frost.
