- Plant of the Month: SunPatiens
SunPatiens not only survived the heat, but they looked good doing it! Matter of fact, I had a hard time keeping regular impatiens alive in the shade last year, but the SunPatiens just kept on growing and blooming. SunPatiens® are the original and trusted brand in sun-loving impatiens. They don’t just tolerate full sun and high temperatures; they thrive in it.
They’re the ideal plant for worry-free color; sun or shade, rain or shine, spring through fall. If you have ever read any of my writing, you know I’m critical of what “northern” test sites, plant tags and catalogs tell us about plants. Very few gardeners outside Texas would ever understand just what we have to go through to keep plants alive, much less thriving.

So, you can only guess at my disbelief when I first heard that there were new impatiens being bred that would grow in full sun. Matter of fact, I thought it was one of those “urban myths” of gardening. Compact SunPatiens® are our besting selling series and feature award-winning garden performance from coast to coast. The compact series can grow 14-32″ tall and 14-24″ wide in the garden. Warmer night temperatures result in stronger growth while SunPatiens® planted in cooler, northern locations are somewhat shorter.
The Vigorous family of SunPatiens® are ideal for backdrops or massive color displays. Plants have a strong, upright habit with sturdy stems and robust vigor. Vigorous varieties can grow 24-42″ tall and 24-30″ wide in the garden. Their aggressive root system takes hold quickly and is ideal for large landscape and municipal planting applications. A single planting can provide non-stop color from spring through fall.

I tested the four original colors of white, magenta, orange and red. New this year is a variegated salmon variety and a pale lavender one – I’ve already got them in the greenhouse for trialing this year. The white, orange and magenta were the most vigorous of the four colors I tested, reaching almost 2 1/2 feet by the end of summer. Now that I was sold on them, I had to go do a little research and see what made them special. Apparently they are a hybrid ofImpatiens walleriana andImpatiens hawkeri.
