New Guinea Infinity Blushing Lilac Impatiens, at 12 to 14 inches tall, is perfect for the container. In partial shade, the flowers are purple. In shade, the flowers may be closer to lavender and the leaves darker green.
This beauty blooms from planting to frost. It has a strong upright, mounded form with large, showy flowers, making it beautiful filler in a pot or window box. The growth habit also earns its place in landscape plantings. Butterflies seem to land regularly on the flowers.
Infinity Blushing Lilac Impatiens Care
Although recommended for shade to part shade, New Guinea Infinity Blushing Lilac Impatiens can be grown in sunnier spots, if well watered. If the plants get dry and wilt, water as soon as possible and they should come back fine. If the plants need to be shaped up, do so with sharp snips or scissors.
Good drainage is important, so use a high quality potting mix. These mixes are specially formulated to be lightweight and to aid drainage. Fertilize following the label directions. Sometimes New Guinea impatiens are grown in hanging baskets. These usually need adequate water to thrive, so monitor carefully.
Infinity Blushing Lilac Impatiens Spacing
Plant three Impatiens New Guinea Infinity Blushing Lilac in a 12-inch container, or use one as a filler with other summer annuals. In the ground, plant 6 to 8 inches apart.

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 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.
