Brighten your shade garden all season long with masses of showy flowers. This striking New Guinea impatiens has beautiful, long, deep-green leaves. It gives you large, pale-purple blooms from late spring to the first frost. This vigorous beauty spreads from 6 to 12 inches with a mounding habit. Care for this plant is easy as it is tolerant of heat and has average water needs. Infinity® Light Purple gives exceptional performance.
Native to Papua New Guinea, Impatiens hawkeri has no serious insect or disease problems. It has an upright growth habit, producing branches freely to form compact balls. Plant it as a filler in containers, pairing it with other shade plants that provide contrasting foliage colors. Pots are preferable to hanging baskets that need much more water. In beds, utilize Infinity® Light Purple New Guinea Impatiens to create masses or groups. Use it to edge walks or paths.
Infinity Light Purple Impatiens Care
This New Guinea impatiens will grow in average soil. Before planting, work some organic matter into the bed. A liquid fertilizer may be used when grown in pots. No deadheading is needed for this self-cleaning beauty. You can pinch back the stems of young plants to encourage branching, then in summer, trim back plants that become leggy. They prefer shade but will survive in full sun. Provide them with consistent moisture; they will need more watering if you plant them in the hot sun.
It is possible to bring your impatiens indoors before frost and grow them as houseplants if you give them enough light and are careful not to overwater.
Infinity Light Purple Impatiens Spacing
Space these plants 6 to 8 inches apart in the landscape. Use one or two as a filler in combination pots.

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. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants 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). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

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.
