Professional Growing Information Horrible. Within days they started wilting despite good soil conditions. Bought 4 more to replace them and realized there were practically no root systems to any of the plants. Now the others from the original 8 are also starting to wilt. After buying 12 of these plants, I'll likely have to take them all out and replace with regular impatiens. I have 2 tickets with Proven Winners and no response in over a week.

Rockapulco impatiens are very easy to care for, provide them with a shady location, give them a bit of fertilizer and don't let them dry out too much and they will be happy campers. The shouldn't need to be trimmed back, but can be pruned to shape them at any time. If they get too tall, you can cut them back to promote additional branching and a more compact habit.
An application of fertilizer or compost on garden beds and regular fertilization of plants in pots will help ensure the best possible performance.

Wonderful salmon color. One of my favorite Impatiens. Thrives in shade as long as it is kept moist. Love it!

I was able to over-winter this plant once. But, I lost it last fall. I didn't it remove from the garden soon enough last fall. This is just a spectacular plant. I have been looking for it this year.
