Notes

'Rockapulco Coral Reef' impatiens (Impatiens walleriana 'Rockapulco Coral Reef') is an annual for borders, containers, and shade gardens. 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 of most types. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the blooms.

Pairs well with Southern shield fern, Harlequin pothos, and Tuff Stuff mountain hydrangea.
