Impatiens ‘Sunpatiens Compact White’ is a dense, mound-forming, well-branched perennial, usually grown as an annual, boasting masses of large, pure white flowers, up to 2 in. across (5 cm), from late spring to the first frosts. Blooming freely all season, the blossoms contrast nicely against the foliage of long, dark green leaves. This compact and prolific New Guinea Impatiens enjoys an exceptional outdoor performance across three seasons and tolerates all weather. Heat and humidity tolerant, it is disease resistant and incredibly versatile. Perfect for beds and borders, containers or window-boxes, it is terrific for creating a dazzling display through the summer. 

  • Grows up to 16-30 in. tall (40-75 cm) and 14-20 in. wide (35-50 cm).
  • Extremely easy to grow, this New Guinea impatiens thrives in full sun, part shade or full shade in moist, well-drained soil. Provide a sheltered site.
  • Impatiens are perennials in hardiness zones 10-11 or climate zones 24, H1, H2, but treated as annuals in cooler areas.
  • No deadheading necessary.
  • Keep an eye out for aphids, glasshouse red spider mite and vine weevil.
  • Propagate by seed or softwood cuttings.
