The delicate blooms of the SunPatiens® Compact Orchid Blush Impatiens are a lovely soft lavender hue that stands out against the dark green leaves. This cultivar has the same striking good looks and easy-care maintenance as traditional Impatiens, but this variety can handle increased light levels, allowing you to enjoy this plant in areas typically unsuitable for Impatiens. This plant is a continuous bloomer that will push out flowers from planting until frost.
This annual is a mounded plant that can fill in a container for lush combination planting. Use the SunPatiens® Compact Orchid Blush Impatiens in a landscape or mass planting to dress up a bed in need of vibrant color. The flowers have a tropical look that handles the summer heat with ease.
SunPatiens® Compact Orchid Blush Impatiens Care
Plant the SunPatiens® Compact Orchid Blush Impatiens in partial to full sunlight. This annual requires 4 to 6 hours of sunlight to thrive. Feel the soil and water when the top couple of inches start to dry out. Impatiens like damp conditions, and while this variety can dry out a bit more than other types, try to maintain consistent dampness for best results. Soil should be rich, well-draining, and slightly acidic to support growth. Feed the plant using a balanced fertilizer every couple of weeks during the growing season.
Impatiens can live outdoors in very warm areas all year, but these beauties are grown as annuals in most areas. With proper care, these plants can overwinter inside. Impatiens grown as houseplants need water when the top few inches of soil feel dry and require bright light.
SunPatiens® Compact Orchid Blush Impatiens Spacing
The SunPatiens® Compact Orchid Blush Impatiens will grow 16 to 30 inches tall and 14 to 20 inches wide. When used in a landscape with other plants, Impatiens can be spaced as close as 8 to 12 inches from nearby plants. If featuring this plant in a container, a 10- to 12-inch pot can support 3 to 4 Impatiens.

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.
