This monster of an Impatiens is tender, but how many summer annuals can you get that grow 4-6’ in one season?? Succulent stems are fast and branching tips are decorated with 2 ½” white flowers with a generous rose pink blotch in the center summer thru fal. Bright shade, AM sun, rich moist soil. Tip prune to maximize blooms!

Another amazing new color form of Impatiens sodenii. The large, 3” or more across, pure white blooms display beautiful, rich rose streaks sweeping out from the center. The blooms appear Spring thru Fall & are held nicely above & outside the rich, green foliage. 4’ to 5’ tall with multi-branching, semi-succulent stems. EASY & fast growing for a bright shade area. Perennial in frost free zones, but self sows readily in colder climates, where it’s grown as an annual. Thanks again to Derick Pitman (“Mr. Impatiens”) for this stunning, new introduction.
