SunPatiens® Compact Lavender Splash Impatiens (Impatiens x hybrida 'SAKIMP069') serves up soft, lavender-tinted petals with rose accents on a sturdy, mounded plant that energizes outdoor spaces from late spring to frost. In our plant trials, each bloom held its color well under full sun or partial shade, creating consistent interest all season. The lush, green foliage frames these large flowers, making this annual a treat for gardeners craving a continuous display of pastel color. Its reliable performance in a variety of light conditions sets it apart as a top choice for hanging baskets and mixed containers.
This hybrid thrives in both heat and humidity, proving native to tropical regions where bold impatiens species first emerged. Its compact habit and strong branching suit mass plantings, patio pots, and window boxes. It also shows notable tolerance to fluctuating weather, shrugging off summer extremes with minimal care. Low-maintenance watering needs and exceptional branching further highlight its garden-friendly temperament.
SunPatiens® Compact Lavender Splash Impatiens Care
Position it in a moderately rich, well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Water consistently, especially during warm spells or when grown in full sun, and feed every couple of weeks using a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Partial sun to full sun encourages lush growth and frequent blooms as long as soil moisture is maintained. Avoid waterlogged conditions to promote healthy root growth.
Light pruning is rarely required, though pinching back spindly stems helps maintain an even shape. Occasional deadheading keeps the plant tidy, though it generally self-cleans. Container-grown plants may need daily watering during peak summer, but always allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly before re-watering. In regions prone to colder nights, move container specimens indoors before temperatures dip below freezing.
SunPatiens® Compact Lavender Splash Impatiens Spacing
Set each plant about 12 to 22 inches apart if creating a massed border or row, leaving enough room for the mounded form. Select a container around 10 to 12 inches wide for individual starters, ensuring proper root space without surrounding the roots with excess soil.

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.

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).

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.
