SunPatiens® Compact Lavender Impatiens (Impatiens x hybrida 'SAKIMP075') displays soft lavender petals on robust, mounded plants that keep flowering from late spring until frost. In our experience, these blooms retain their color even under strong sun or partial shade, bringing a steady flow of interest to the garden. Each flower head is large enough to catch attention in mixed plantings or on its own in a container. This selection is easy to grow for both beginners and seasoned gardeners, adding a gentle hue to landscapes.

Its adaptable performance suits both small-space gardening and more expansive borders. Native to tropical regions, impatiens often prefer moisture, but this series tolerates heat with ease and resists many common issues. Pair Compact Lavender Impatiens with ornamental grasses or trailing plants in containers, or set it out in rows for a massed effect. Deer generally bypass it, and it maintains reliable color when placed in the right conditions.

SunPatiens® Compact Lavender Impatiens Care

Plant it in fertile, well-draining soil, maintaining a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Aim for moderate to heavy watering in full sun or part sun, checking soil often during warmer spells. A balanced fertilizer applied every couple of weeks boosts new growth and buds. Watch for water stress in hot periods, especially if grown in smaller pots or exposed locations.

Short trimming sessions are rarely needed, though any leggy stems can be pinched for a denser habit. Occasional deadheading helps keep the plant tidy, though it typically self-cleans. Container-grown specimens need consistent moisture, so factor in increased watering if placed in direct sun. In colder climates, treat it as an annual, or move pots indoors if nighttime lows approach freezing.  

SunPatiens® Compact Lavender Impatiens Spacing

Place plants about 12 to 22 inches apart when aiming for a unified bed or row. For single specimens in containers, consider pots around 10 to 12 inches wide so roots have room to establish without trapping excess moisture.
