Distinctive Features

This vigorous impatiens forms a compact to medium mound covered in orchid-lavender blooms that read as fresh and bright in the landscape. It is known for strong performance in both sun and shade, holding up well through heat and humidity. Plants branch well for a thick, uniform look, which makes mass plantings especially clean.
