Torenia plant `Sunrenibu`

Abstract

A new and attractive hybrid of Torenia plant, named `Sunrenibu`, attained as selected superior hybrid seedling from a cross involving `Crown Mix`×`Con Color`. The new plant has a less decumbent, more ascending or semi-upright habit, moderate branching and an unusually dense canopy of an attractive mounded form which does not collapse during the season. This plant produces a profusion of flowers of petals and corolla of a nearly monochromatic light purple; 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.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of the Torenia plant, characterized as to novelty by its semi-erect habit, vivid purple flower petals with light purple floral tube without yellow eye color, substantially as shown and described.
