Rockapulco® Orange Impatiens Care
This is a great plant for the shade and it can take as little as 4 hours of sunlight daily. Trim back any time to keep the shape compact and promote more branching but it is not necessary. Plant in soil that is well-draining and organically rich, to promote consistent moisture. To lock in the moisture, topdress soil with 2 inches of mulch in the landscape. Container plants tend to need more frequent fertilizing, so apply a slow-release fertilizer or compost at initial planting and supplement fertilizing when needed.
Rockapulco® Orange Double are outdoor annuals in zones 9 and below. These plants cannot tolerate frost. Typically overwintering indoors is not recommended.
Rockapulco® Orange Impatiens Spacing
Give Impatiens Rockapulco Orange a 10 to 12-inch space between plants in the landscape. In containers, space plants at least 6 inches apart. Use at least a 12-inch hanging basket or 14-inch pot when planting in containers for maximum results.

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.

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.
