Notes
'Beacon Orange' impatiens (Impatiens walleriana 'Beacon Orange') is an annual for containers, shade gardens, borders, and accents. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes part sun to full shade and average to moist soil. It forms a clumping mound and grows quickly. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the blooms. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with Australian tree fern, Blue star fern, Tuff Stuff mountain hydrangea, and False shamrock.
