- Light Requirement is Full Shade to Partial Shade

- Add beautiful color to shade gardens!
Put Rockapulco Appleblossom Impatiens in part shade to shade and you get beautiful double pink flowers that look like roses. These flowers last from spring to first frost. This Impatiens has been bred to thrive in hot and humid environments that are too hostile for regular Impatiens.
The dark green foliage contrasts nicely with the pink flowers. Use as a border, in a bed, or in a mixed container. In a container, Rockapulco Appleblossom Impatiens acts as a filler because of its mounded shape.
Rockapulco® Appleblossom Impatiens Care
Rockapulco Appleblossom Impatiens are easy to grow. You can put some compost or a slow-release fertilizer around them when you plant them in the landscape for a season of pretty blooms. For Rockapulco Appleblossom Impatiens in containers, fertilize with a water-soluble fertilizer on a regular basis to keep the blooms going. You do not have to deadhead Rockapulco Appleblossom Impatiens to keep the blooms coming, but it looks better if you do. They like moist, well-drained soil, so water them regularly. Do not keep them too wet, or they will die.
A perennial native to East Africa, Rockapulco Appleblossom Impatiens does not survive the winter in the United States, so is treated as an annual. They will self-seed if you do not deadhead them. When the seeds are ready to disburse, they explode out of the seed pod. If you are not careful to deadhead them before this happens, the Rockapulco Appleblossom Impatiens can spread quite a bit into neighboring garden beds.
Rockapulco® Appleblossom Impatiens Spacing
Rockapulco Appleblossom Impatiens grow to 10-20 inches tall and are considered medium in size. They are wider than they are tall, spreading to 12-24 inches wide. If you give them 10-12 inches of space, you can create a wall of flowers as an edging or in the landscape.

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.
