Impatiens SunPatiens® Compact Royal Magenta has been a beautiful, trouble-free plant in my part-shade hillside garden and has grown very large with almost no attention all season. I have found the SunPatiens series to be far superior to New Guinea impatiens in requiring far less attention to keep the plants from wilting in the garden.

Impatiens SunPatiens® Compact Royal Magenta Is a star in my shade garden. Its flowers are a deep, saturated magenta, and the leaves are untouched by disease and hungry insects. I also have it growing in a sunny spot next to the door to my glass porch, but here it is less striking because the flowers tend to develop unsightly white spots as they age. Farther away in the landscape, this would not be as noticeable. In both shade and sun, the plants are very floriferous and nicely mound-shaped. They have been blooming non-stop for two and a half months so far (Mid-May through late July) and are not showing any signs of slowing down anytime soon. When I planted them, I put Osmocote slow-release fertilizer in the hole.
