Vista, California — SunPatiens, the only impatiens that thrives in full sun, will have two new varieties available exclusively at Home Depot garden centers this spring.
SunPatiens Compact Hot Coral offers excellent branching for a full, healthy presentation at the garden center. This new color contrasts well with the dark green foliage of the plant, and the large blooms will brighten up any garden.
SunPatiens Compact Red is a fantastic performer! This is the first true red SunPatiens and will be a great choice for any gardener.
Both compact varieties will reach a height and width of 24 to 36 inches. Sun or shade, rain or shine, spring through fall—SunPatiens deliver bursts of color all season long with very little care. SunPatiens Compact Coral and SunPatiens Compact Red are terrific choices for the landscape or in large patio containers. Growing best in consistently moist soil, SunPatiens really deliver what every gardener wants – easy, reliable garden performance and great color!
Tim Kepner of Pure Beauty Farms comments “The new Compact Red is a true red. This color is one of the top sellers in any impatiens crop and this one will most likely take over as the top seller in the SunPatiens series. The new Hot Coral adds a nice tropical look to the series and will likely also be very popular. SunPatiens really give you the flower power and garden performance that you look for in premium annuals.”
