The SunPatiens® Colorful Impatiens Collection provides consistent flowers in an array of colors from spring through fall. These prolific flowers appear in shades of deep magenta, bright pink, and a delicate pink that is almost white. The collection includes Impatiens x hybrida Compact Royal Magenta, Vigorous Pink Kiss, and Vigorous Shell Pink. Dark green foliage provides a lovely backdrop for the colorful flowers and features toothed edges for additional texture.
These Impatiens have a dense and mounded growth habit, creating a full appearance. Plant them together for a lovely and colorful mixed container, or feature them separately throughout a space for a coordinated look. Impatiens grow well in mixed beds and make a charming addition to borders. These adaptable plants can handle challenging summer climates while still looking fabulous.
SunPatiens® Colorful Impatiens Collection Care
Morning sun and afternoon shade is a good arrangement for the SunPatiens® Colorful Impatiens Collection. These plants can handle full sun but grow well in limited shade. Use moist, well-drained, and slightly acidic soil with increased organic content. Impatiens need water when the top layer of soil is dry. Bi-weekly doses of fertilizer keep the plants lush and blooming.
Keep the plants looking tidy with a mid-summer pruning. Remove overgrowth and cut the plant back by one-third. Pinch faded flowers to promote more branching and blooming.
SunPatiens® Colorful Impatiens Collection Spacing
The plants in this collection grow 14 to 28 inches tall and 14 to 24 inches wide. Grow three plants in a 16-inch wide container or space plants 14 to 24 inches apart in a 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.
