Roller Coaster Valravn Violet New Guinea Impatiens (Impatiens hawkeri) produces ruffled, double blooms in a purple tone that remains eye-catching from late spring into early fall. Its neat, mounded shape reaches 12 to 16 inches tall and is perfect for smaller spaces or containers. The pretty purple flowers stand out against the plant’s glossy green foliage for a pleasing look in dappled or indirect light. This variety can quickly transform shaded corners into summer showcases.

Its medium-compact habit suits border plantings, container arrangements, and even hanging baskets. Native to tropical regions, New Guinea Impatiens are known for handling warm, humid weather without losing their flower power. The Roller Coaster series, in particular, offers a ruffled appearance that distinguishes it from ordinary impatiens. Dense growth near the ground negates the need for companion coverage at the front of beds.

Roller Coaster Valravn Violet New Guinea Impatiens Care

Provide a well-drained, organic-rich soil, maintaining moderate moisture levels. A slightly acidic to neutral pH, along with partial shade, keeps foliage healthy and flower production consistent. Weekly or biweekly feedings using a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer promote steady bud formation. In very hot climates, place it in morning sun with afternoon shade to prevent stress.

Clip off spent blooms to keep fresh buds coming, and prune any leggy stems to preserve a rounded form. Potted specimens need frequent watering, making sure not to waterlog the roots. Move containers to a sheltered location if nighttime temperatures dip below 55°F. In cooler zones, treat it as a seasonal annual, removing and composting the plant once the cold weather sets in.

Roller Coaster Valravn Violet New Guinea Impatiens Spacing

Place each plant about 12 inches apart in groupings or row plantings, so they have adequate elbow room for full shape. For container displays, a pot approximately 10 inches wide typically suffices. Select a larger vessel when combining this Impatiens with other plants.
