About New Guinea Impatiens
Commonly known as “New Guinea Impatiens,” Impatiens hawkeri are quite similar to Common Impatiens, with a plot twist: they can be grown in full sun. Their blooms are also slightly larger than their cousins’, which makes for some awkward Impatiens Family dinner conversation.
These annuals will flower all season long, come in a huge range of colors, and don’t need to be deadheaded. They do best in well-drained, consistently moist soil, so be sure to water a few times a week, especially during hotter weather.
