11cm - Impatiens

Impatiens are vibrant, shade-tolerant hybrids known for their large, bold flowers that contrast sharply against lush, deep green or bronze foliage. Unlike common impatiens, these varieties are bred for greater sun tolerance and resistance to downy mildew, making them a reliable choice for brightening patios, window boxes, and shaded garden borders.

Thrives in partial shade, though they are very floriferous in bright light and can handle full sun if kept constantly moist.

Needs consistent moisture, as they are not drought-tolerant and can fail if allowed to dry out.

Thrives in moist, well-drained, fertile soil, ideally with a slightly acidic pH. As heavy feeders, apply a balanced fertilizer regularly.

Pinch out growing tips when young to encourage a bushier, better-branched plant.
