<< i Everyone,
 Hoping someone can help me out.  I bought a flat of annuals today by the name
 of "Tr" something.  I think it was Troenia (but I know the spelling I'm using
 is incorrect).  The plant marker is missing.  The salesperson at the nursery
 said it grows in shade to about 8 inches.  The plant has multiple small bell
 or trumpet shaped flower in  deep purple or it also comes in white with a
 splash of pink in the center.   Does this annual flower sound familiar to
 anyone?  Can someone tell me alittle about this flower and how to care for
it?
 Thank you very much!

Hi!
It is Torenia fournieri.Partial shade. High potash fertilizer every three
weeks. Pinch spent flowers. Water freely.  Self-sows wonderfully. Will grow in
cracks in pavement on your patio. A great annual for the shade garden.
