Should I Deadhead Torenia?

It's not necessary to deadhead the flowers. In fact, some gardeners find the seed heads quite attractive. When the young plants are about three inches tall, you'll want to pinch back the growing tips of the plants to encourage branched growth and an attractive bushy shape.

How do you keep torenia blooming?

Every month, feed your soil a nice compost to keep your torenia blooming bountifully. Also, pinch off the dying bounty of blooms each week to make room for new growth. To grow torenia in containers, use a rich, well draining soil. Water often enough to keep the soil moist.

Does torenia require deadheading?

Torenia does not require deadheading, but if you pinch the tips of growing stems, not only will the plant get bushier, but you'll get additional flowers as well.
