Notes
'Beacon Rose' impatiens (Impatiens walleriana 'Beacon Rose') is an annual for borders, containers, shade gardens, and foundation plantings. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes part sun to full shade and average to moist soil. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Tuff Stuff mountain hydrangea, Blue star fern, and Doctor Ruppel clematis.
