Compact White Improved Impatiens is a popular compact tropical annual used for bedding with whorls of dark green to bronze foliage. The large, flattened 5-petaled white flowers bloom from late spring until frost. Grows best with morning sun and consistently moist and rich well-drained soil. Tolerates full shade and is more sun tolerant than the species. The Improved version of Compact White is the same, but with resistance to downy mildew.
