Impatiens SunPatiens® (Impatiens)
Color Name: Compact Purple
Compact Purple SunPatiens are a popular choice for gardeners seeking continuous, vibrant color in both sun and shade. Thriving in various light conditions and tolerating heat and humidity, they are a low-maintenance option that doesn't require deadheading. The compact habit of this variety makes it particularly suitable for containers, hanging baskets, and smaller garden spaces, providing a dense, bushy growth and season-long color from spring through frost.
Flower power in your garden all season long! SunPatiens are the first impatiens that thrive in FULL SUN and HIGH HEAT gardens. Compared to other impatiens, SunPatiens are better in sun, better in areas of high heat and high humidity, and have more garden vigor than most other impatiens.
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.
