New Guinea Impatiens

Breeder

Compact-medium growers. Works well for a wide range of container sizes and landscape plantings. They also do well in landscape beds. They like warm starting temperatures and moderate feed throughout production. Do not let pots dry out completely or flowering will be poor. Watch for thrips and mites.

Dark lavender flowers with dark green foliage; earlier flowering than the old Sonic Amethyst.

Keep feed levels on the low end (below 1.5 mS/cm) to prevent salt burn and root rot.
