New Guinea Impatiens (Impatiens Hawkeri Florific Sweet Orange) - Award-winning performance from seed. Sets the standard for economical and fast, high-density production of New Guinea Impatiens from seed. Ideal for large packs and small pots. Uniform and well-branched plants are paired with large, flat flowers held on top of the foliage. A great alternative to Impatiens walleriana where downy mildew exists in the landscape.
Florific™ Sweet Orange New Guinea Impatiens is perfect for brightening gardens or patio containers in partial to full shade. Plants produce masses of large, uniquely bicolored orange flowers. Naturally branching plants quickly fill beds and are perfect for planting "en masse". With resistance to impatiens downy mildew, Florific Sweet Orange is the perfect alternative for shade gardens where the disease is a concern. Also great for haning baskets or used as a container plant.
Sow New Guinea Impatiens seeds indoors, 8 - 10 weeks before the end of frost season. Use starter trays and good starter soil. Sow flower seeds into the cells, press into soil but do not cover. Impatiens seeds need light to germinate. Keep the seed continuously moist. Transplant the Impatiens seedlings into containers or the garden 10 - 12 inches apart after all danger of frost. You may also sow New Guinea Impatiens seeds directly into the soil after the threat of frost has passed. This will still give you nice flowers around mid summer and in to the fall.
