Impatiens Solarscape Salmon Punch Seed

Impatiens Solarscape Salmon Punch is a seed-raised interspecific impatiens with salmon-pink flowers for warm-season beds, borders and containers in sun or part shade with reliable moisture.

Quick Grow Facts

• Plant Type: Tender tropical perennial, usually grown as a warm-season annual bedding and container plant.
• Scientific Name: Impatiens x hybrida, interspecific hybrid.
• General Sowing Time: Start seed in warm, protected trays from late winter to spring; transplant once frost risk has passed and nights are warming.
• Position: Full sun to part shade with reliable moisture; use morning sun and afternoon shade in very hot, dry or windy areas.
• Sow Depth: Surface sow or press seed lightly into moist seedling mix; do not cover heavily because impatiens seed needs light to germinate.
• Spacing: 35-45 cm for most bedding and container plantings; allow the wider spacing for mass plantings or larger pots.
• Germination: About 14-21 days at roughly 21-24 C in warm, evenly moist conditions.
• Height: Typically around 30-45 cm in bedding and container culture.

Why Grow This Variety

• Salmon-pink flowers soften hot-colour plantings and pair with white, orange and burgundy foliage.
• Seed-propagated Solarscape impatiens give gardeners and landscapers useful planting flexibility.
• The plants suit full-sun beds and containers when they are not allowed to dry out.
• Mounded plants fill patio pots, borders, summer beds and landscape-style colour blocks.

Garden Uses

Use Impatiens Solarscape Salmon Punch in patio containers, hanging baskets, sunny beds with regular watering, part-shade borders, poolside planters or grouped summer displays.

Growing Notes

• Use a fine, sterile seedling mix and keep trays warm, humid and evenly moist until germination.
• Water gently so the surface-sown seed is not washed away.
• Plant into compost-improved, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil or quality potting mix.
• Protect plants from frost and treat them as warm-season annuals in cold inland areas.
