Let Us Introduce You...
May 29, 2014
There are so many "new" plants in the garden center each year that it's hard to know what to try. Let us introduce you to one of our new favorites: Sunpatiens! They look like New Guinea Impatiens, but can take a lot more sun. (New Guineas prefer no more than half a day of sun, and morning is best.
Glossy medium green leaves are the backdrop for giant blooms in clear whites, reds, pinks, violets, and oranges. They make a great change from geraniums with their mounding habit and medium height. If you are looking for a change and a quick impact in your garden, Sunpatiens in 8" pots will fill a container or flower bed in no time!
