Description

Impatiens SunPatiens Vigorous Pink Pearl is a brand new hybrid variety of large size, remarkable in every way. Vigorous, disease-resistant, and tolerant of both sun and shade, it is covered with large flowers in a delicious candy pink that open in abundance on beautiful dark green foliage. These exceptional qualities are combined with excellent floribundity, from late spring until the first frost. This frost-tender perennial plant will be grown as an annual, ideally in a sunny flower bed, or planted en masse in a mix with other varieties from the Sunpatiens series. It is also a very beautiful plant for summer compositions and flower pots.

 

Impatiens SunPatiens Vigorous Pink Pearl is a hybrid cultivar of the Balsaminaceae family, originating, among others, from Impatiens hawkeri, a botanical species native to Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. Sunpatiens plants grow quickly and are grown as annuals in our climates. They were selected in the USA for their ability to tolerate full sun exposure, their resistance to powdery mildew, their floribundity, and their increased vigour.

'Vigorous Pink Pearl' develops from a strong stump into an erect clump with sturdy stems, a bushy and spreading habit, reaching a minimum height of 80cm (32in) with a diameter of 70cm (28in). It is a highly floriferous Impatiens that blooms from June until the first frost in October. It has large, single, cup-shaped flowers in a light and pure pink colour, with a spur. Its leaves, finely toothed and ovate in shape, are dark green.

 

Impatiens Sunpatiens Vigorous Pink Pearl is more disease-resistant than the classic Impatiens. It is suitable for flower beds or large borders mixed with different shades, adding charm and elegance. It can be grown indoors as a perennial. In this case, it should be pruned in spring to promote new growth. Sunpatiens is also a pollution-absorbing plant and lowers the surrounding temperature. This plant received three gold medals in 2006 at Euroflora in Italy for best selection, best Impatiens, and best bedding plant.

Note: Please be aware that our young plug plants are professional products intended for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, repot and store them under cover (veranda, greenhouse, cold frame...) at a temperature above 14°C (57.2°F) for a few weeks before planting them outdoors once the risk of frost has passed.

Planting and care

Impatiens Sunpatiens Vigorous Pink Pearl is easy to grow. It should be placed in full sun or partial shade. Plant it in the ground in spring from March to May, after the last frost as Impatiens cannot tolerate frost, for flowering from June until the first frost in October. To accelerate its growth, pre-cultivate it in a pot in a warm and bright place. Place the Impatiens in a well-drained and humus-rich soil. Water it generously, but be careful not to overdo it. Pruning is not necessary. Very floriferous and fast-growing, it is hungry. Feed it with a liquid fertilizer for containers once or twice a week during the growing season. Remove faded flowers and dry leaves as you go to keep it looking nice and prolong the flowering. Be careful, remember to protect it from slugs that enjoy their young leaves, but otherwise Impatiens Sunpatiens is resistant to diseases.
