The saturated flower colors of the SunPatiens® Tropical Punch Impatiens lend a resort-like vibe to a space. The collection includes an Impatiens hawkeri Lilac, Rose Glow, and Tiki Torch. The flowers bloom in deep shades of pink, orange, and magenta. The flowers have broad and narrow petals that coordinate while also providing contrast and adding to the visual interest. Enjoy the flowers from late spring through fall. Glossy, dark green foliage with pronounced serrated edges complements the lovely blooms.
These Impatiens' mounded growth habit makes them an excellent choice for containers and window boxes. Add these beauties to a border or mixed bed, or create a dazzling mass planting. The colorful flowers of the SunPatiens® Candylicious Impatiens complement one another, elevating the look of a porch, patio, or entryway. Pollinators frequent the blooms. These plants are disease resistant to ensure robust growth all season.
SunPatiens® Tropical Punch Impatiens Care
Full sun is ideal for Impatiens and encourages a full flush of flowers. Soil with a high organic content and a slightly acidic pH is best. Use moist and well-drained soil because Impatiens do not like wet feet. Water when the soil is dry. Landscape plants often need water weekly, while container plants may need water daily. Routine doses of fertilizer help the plant thrive.
Remove faded flowers to maintain a tidy appearance, although deadheading is not required. Prune the plants by one-third if they appear overgrown and straggly. Mid-summer is usually a good time to give Impatiens a rejuvenating trim.
SunPatiens® Tropical Punch Impatiens Spacing
The SunPatiens® Tropical Punch Impatiens grow 24 inches tall and wide. Space plants 24 inches apart for a dense mass planting or feature three plants in a 16-inch wide container.

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.
