As a medium-height plant, this variety will reach 14 to 32 inches tall, so feature it in the middle of plantings or in front of tall plants. The bold blooms look great as part of a group planting in a landscape. Use these Impatiens in a container to add a burst of color to a tabletop or fill out a combination planting.

SunPatiens® Compact Deep Red Impatiens Care

Plant the SunPatiens® Compact Deep Red Impatiens in part to full sun. This variety can handle at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight. This plant still has increased water needs and prefers somewhat damp soil like other varieties of Impatiens. Increased light can dry the soil out more quickly, so be mindful of the amount of light the plant receives and water when the top inch of soil dries out. Use slightly acidic, rich soil that promotes drainage. Feed the plant using a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer every other week.

Impatiens can overwinter indoors. Cut the plants back and place them in a window that receives bright light. Monitor the soil and water when the top couple of inches feel dry.

SunPatiens® Compact Deep Red Impatiens Spacing

The SunPatiens® Compact Deep Red Impatiens grows 14 to 32 inches tall and spreads 24 to 36 inches. Plants can be spaced 12 to 24 inches apart to create a full planting. A 10- to 12-inch container can accommodate 3 to 4 Impatiens.
