What makes these SunPatiens so special? They are a cross between traditional New Guinea impatiens and a wild impatiens. The plants have the good sized flower of a New Guinea but now have strong garden vigor that allows them to grow well in all summer conditions. Garden vigor and a slightly thicker leaf wall are the secret to impatiens sun and heat show.
Growing Tips: SunPatiens are as easy to care for as they are beautiful. Like most Impatiens, SunPatiens should be well watered. Plant them in a well draining soil with plenty of organic material. Always, mulch your beds with 2 to 3 inches of mulch to help retain moisture and protect the roots.
When planting in containers, hanging baskets and window boxes, we recommend using our potting soil which is specially formulated for our plants. An application of a time release fertilizer at the time of planting will help to ensure the best possible performance. Zehr's Osmocote blend is perfect for the job. We also suggest fertilizing every two weeks during the hot summer months of June, July and August with Maxsea, which you can purchase at Zehr's. Begonias, Impatiens and most plants grown for foliage normally do not need as much fertilizer.
