Growing Beacon Mix Impatiens
Choose partial to full shade and fertile soil that drains well. Water enough to keep the root zone evenly moist, especially when summer heat dries out containers quickly. Protect plants from direct afternoon sun, which can scorch leaves and flowers. Space plants for airflow, mulch garden beds to conserve moisture, and avoid standing water around the roots. With suitable care, the colorful flowers continue throughout the warm season until frost.
Size: Roughly 14–18 inches tall and 12–14 inches wide. Best uses: Shaded borders, porch pots, and hanging baskets. Typically grown as an annual in Alabama.
