IMPATIENS 'Fisnics Burgsweet'( SONIC® SWEET BURGUNDY, New Guinea Hybrid, SONIC® SERIES) PP16141
New Guinea Impatiens, Sonic® Sweet Burgundy New Guinea Impatiens
Large, five-petaled flowers of deep burgundy purple and lavender cover Sonic® Sweet Burgundy. New Guinea hybrids in the Sonic® Series are heat-tolerant, well-branched, compact and flower profusely. They produce blooms early and continue flowering all season with good care. Their dark green, lance-shaped foliage is lush and the vigorous plants form spreading, rounded mounds.
The New Guinea hybrids are crosses between several parent species which include Impatiens hawkeri, Impatiens schlechteri and Impatiens platypetala. This suite of tropical perennials was collected from the island of Papua New Guinea, which is northeast of Australia.
New Guinea impatiens, though more heat and sun tolerant than common impatiens, do prefer several hours of shade per day, particularly in hot and humid climates. These cold-sensitive perennials are planted as summer annuals in colder zones and winter annuals or tender, short-lived perennials in warmer areas. Well-drained, rich, moist soils and regular applications of water and fertilizer are best for vigorous growth and flowering. If given ideal growing conditions, they will bloom continuously. These popular bedding plants add quick and easy color to any border or container.
