Notes

'Rockapulco Appleblossom' impatiens (Impatiens walleriana 'Rockapulco Appleblossom') is an annual for containers, borders, and shade gardens. 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 of most types. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the blooms of this fast-growing, clumping plant.

Pairs well with Wild ginger, Southern shield fern, and Tuff Stuff mountain hydrangea.
