Notes
'Rockapulco Orange' impatiens (Impatiens walleriana 'Rockapulco Orange') 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. 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 Limelight licorice plant, Lollipop purple top, and Blue star fern.
