Notes
'Beacon Bright Red' impatiens (Impatiens walleriana 'Beacon Bright Red') is an annual for borders, containers, shade gardens, and annual beds. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun to full shade and average to moist, loamy soil. It forms a clump 14 to 24 inches tall and wide, and butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the blooms. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Wild ginger, Boston fern, and Polka dot plant.
