Impatiens have a well-deserved reputation as being the go-to plant for shade-prone areas. Not only can these plants thrive in partial shade, but they feature vibrant flowers that add a blaze of color to a border, mass planting, or container. The vibrant blooms of the Beacon® Orange Bedding Impatiens will turn heads during the flower season, which starts in the spring and lasts until fall. Impatiens are easy to grow and have high water needs but are generally not very fussy.
Impatiens grow as a perennial in USDA zones 10 and 11. The plant grows as an annual in colder regions, but it can overwinter indoors. Impatiens are native to the tropics of Asia, making them heat-tolerant. The Beacon® Orange Bedding Impatiens can be grown in borders, containers, landscape, and mass plantings and used as ground cover.
Beacon® Orange Bedding Impatiens Plant Care
Impatiens have high water requirements and prefer soil that never completely dries out. Water Impatiens when the top layer of the soil is slightly damp, and during the heat of summer, deeply water the plants to prevent them from drying out. Soil should drain and have a pH of 5.5 to 6.5. Impatiens need part shade, and the ideal spot should receive 4 to 6 hours of sunlight exposure. This plant can tolerate some sun, but the more sunlight the plants receive, the more water will also be necessary.
Use a slow-release fertilizer during planting to help support the plant throughout the growing season. Pruning is not generally necessary, but you can lightly trim the plant if it starts to look leggy or overgrown.
Beacon® Orange Bedding Impatiens Plant Spacing
The Beacon® Orange Bedding Impatiens are a mounding plant that works very well as a filler in a bed or container. The plant grows 10 to 15 inches tall and should be spaced 8 to 10 inches apart. A 12-inch container can easily accommodate 2 to 3 plants.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
