Notes
'Rockapulco Purple' impatiens (Impatiens walleriana 'Rockapulco Purple') is an annual for containers, borders, shade gardens, and foundation plantings. 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 rarely make it their first choice. It forms a clumping mound about 12 inches tall and wide, and butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Southern shield fern, Dragon Wing Pink begonia, Tuff Stuff mountain hydrangea, and Blue star fern.
