- Description
-
Impatiens x hybrida SunPatiens® is a hybrid from a Japanese seed company called Sakata. It is available in a wide variety of colors and is grown as a perennial in zones 10a through 11b. In cooler climates we can enjoy these as colorful annuals. Unlike other members of the Impatiens genus, this hybrid has been introduced to perform well in full sun. Best when they receive regular watering, however, they do not lose their flower buds when water stressed. Drying out may cause leaf scorch.
Unlike other varieties of Impatiens, SunPatiens are not affected by downy mildew.
