Pruning torenia fournieri — FAQ
When should I prune torenia fournieri?
Pinch when young (spring); deadhead and shear mid-season if needed. Pinch out the central growing tip on young plants at 10–12 cm tall to encourage branching. Remove spent flowers regularly. Shear back by one-third if the plant becomes leggy in midsummer.
How often does torenia fournieri need pruning?
Pinch once when young; deadhead throughout season; mid-season shear as needed. Torenia fournieri is an annual grown for a single season, so pruning is about maximising its display rather than long-term structure. Pinch out growing tips when plants are young to encourage bushiness. Deadhead regularly to prolong flowering. A light shear by one-third mid-season can revive a plant that has become straggly.
