SunPatiens Compact Red Impatiens is a popular compact tropical annual used for bedding with whorls of dark green to bronze foliage. The large, flattened 5-petaled bright red flowers bloom from late spring until frost. Grows best with morning sun and consistently moist and rich well-drained soil. The SunPatiens series tolerates full shade and is more sun tolerant than the species.
