Notes
'Rockapulco Tropical Shades' impatiens (Impatiens walleriana 'Rockapulco Tropical Shades') is an annual for borders, containers, shade gardens, and woodland edges. 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. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the blooms, and it grows at a rapid pace.
Pairs well with Southern shield fern, Dragon Wing Pink begonia, and Let's Dance Sky View bigleaf hydrangea.
