Bounce Impatiens

Bounce Impatiens (Impatiens interspecific hybrid 'Bounce Series')

Bounce Impatiens brings the full, nonstop color people love in impatiens back to shade and part sun beds with stronger confidence through the season. These plants fill in quickly, staying lush and flower-covered from late spring until frost when moisture is steady. They are especially useful for brightening low-light areas, softening edges, and making containers look finished without complicated upkeep. If you want dependable summer color that can handle real garden conditions, this series is built for it.

Distinctive Features

Bounce plants form a well-branched, mounded habit covered in abundant, flat-faced blooms in a wide range of colors depending on the selection. A key advantage is strong resistance to impatiens downy mildew compared with traditional garden impatiens, helping plantings stay attractive longer in many landscapes. Flowering is continuous through warm weather, with bloom typically running from late spring through fall. Mature size is commonly about 14 to 20 inches tall and 14 to 20 inches wide.

Growing Conditions

• Sun: Part sun to shade, with brighter light possible if soil moisture stays consistent and plants are protected from harsh afternoon sun.
• Soil: Fertile, well-drained soil that holds moisture, or a high-quality container mix with good drainage.
• Water: Moderate, keep evenly moist and do not allow the soil to dry out completely, especially in containers.
• Zones: Grown as an annual in all zones, and it does not tolerate frost.
• Notable Traits: Strong resistance to impatiens downy mildew and a vigorous, well-branched habit.

Ideal Uses

• Focal Point: Mass a single color selection as a focal point in bright shade where the dense bloom canopy can read as a solid block of color.
• Shade Beds: Use to fill large areas under trees or along north-facing foundations where reliable color is needed.
• Hanging Baskets: Plant for full coverage and a long bloom window in baskets and mixed patio containers.
• Border Edging: Line paths and bed fronts for a clean, mounded edge that stays lush through summer.

Low Maintenance Care

• Watering: Water consistently, since steady moisture supports the fullest growth and heaviest flowering.
• Feeding: Feed lightly through the season, especially in containers, to keep plants vigorous and blooming.
• Grooming: Trim lightly if plants stretch to encourage fresh branching and maintain a neat mound.
• Mulching: Mulch beds to conserve moisture and reduce stress during heat.
