Torenia is harder for major commercial growers to produce as it is not a uniform shape grower like imp or beg. Also, it is a trailer and rangy an therefore, harder to ship and shop. Additionally it comes into bloom "shows color" later and less prolifically. Sometimes pulling apart a hanging basket of Torenia is the way to go.

Yes, plant breeders have been busy and new colors are starting to be available. I picked up some yellow ones called 'Yellow Moon' (I think)
