Notes

'Rockapulco Rose' impatiens (Impatiens walleriana 'Rockapulco Rose') is an annual for borders, containers, shade gardens, and woodland plantings. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes part sun to full shade and average to moist soil of most types. This clumping plant grows fast, and butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit its blooms. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first.

Pairs well with Southern shield fern, Frozen Queen calla lily, and Manjula pothos.
