Notes

'Beacon Coral' impatiens (Impatiens walleriana 'Beacon Coral') is an annual for containers, borders, shade gardens, and annual beds. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun to full shade and average to moist, loamy soil. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. It forms a clumping mound 14 to 24 inches tall and wide, and butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the blooms.

Pairs well with Polka dot plant, Wild ginger, and Australian tree fern.
