- Use As A Thriller In Containers
With its deep green foliage and shocking orange flowers, SunPatiens® Compact Electric Orange Impatiens will add an intense exclamation mark to any container or garden planting. The thick flowers are highly tolerant of heat, humidity, and most common diseases, giving these plants added staying power from late spring to the first frost in fall. Impatiens x hybrida perform as well in full sun as they do in the shade with minimal maintenance and absolutely no color fading.
Plant SunPatiens® in containers for a display bursting with seasonal color. They also make wonderful bedding plants in a sunny or shady garden border. SunPatiens® are often used as filler plants in mixed containers. Electric Orange SunPatiens® also works as a thriller plant in a hanging basket or window box for a modern and effective block of color.
SunPatiens® Compact Electric Orange Impatiens Care
Plant SunPatiens® in well-draining, nutrient-rich soil that retains moisture. Mulching plants in the garden will help the soil retain moisture while also suppressing annual weeds that compete for nutrients and moisture. SunPatiens® do not require deadheading; they are self-cleaning and bloom continuously. Lightly pinch back the stems at the time of planting to encourage a bushier form. Pinching again later in the summer as flowering slows will set your SunPatiens® up for the last flush of flowers through the fall.
Although SunPatiens® are considered tender perennials in USDA growing zones 10a-11b, they often die out after 2-3 years. For the best color and healthiest plants, replant SunPatiens® in the spring when the risk of frost has passed and night-time temperatures are reliably above 50 degrees F (10C).
SunPatiens® Compact Electric Orange Impatiens Spacing
The smaller size of SunPatiens® Compact Electric Orange Impatiens makes them ideal for filling empty spots in containers or hanging baskets throughout the summer months. Typically, three plants will grow well and fill up a 10-inch diameter hanging basket. Plants used in a garden bed will need a spacing of 10-12 inches.

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.
