IMPATIENS 'Fisnics Light Pink'( SONIC® LIGHT PINK, New Guinea Hybrid, SONIC® SERIES) PP13579
New Guinea Impatiens, Sonic® Light Pink New Guinea Impatiens
Large, five-petaled flowers of pale pink adorn Sonic® Light Pink. 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 combined 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.
These impatiens can be distinguished from common garden impatiens by their larger, five-petaled, flattened flowers and lance-shaped often beautifully colored leaves. They also are grow in a bushy-upright or vase-shaped habit.
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.
