Few flowers are as popular as impatiens, (Impatiens walleriana). They are one of the few flowers that bloom continuously and thrive in shade, with little care. If you've ever wished you could find a similar long bloomer for a sunny spot in the garden, take a look at their cousins, the New Guinea impatiens, Impatiens hawkeri.

New Guinea impatiens form small clumps and hold their many flowers above their foliage, where they make a colorful display. No deadheading is required to keep them repeat blooming for months. With few pests or problems, New Guinea impatiens offer low maintenance and high performance.


Expect your New Guinea impatiens to start blooming early in the season, if they aren't already in bloom when you buy them. They will bloom continuously if they are getting enough sun and water.

New Guinea impatiens like a slightly acidic soil pH in the range of 6.0 - 6.5, but they are not terribly particular about it. They will need a well-draining soil, that holds moisture long enough for the roots to soak it up. New Guinea impatiens are not drought tolerant, but you don't want them sitting in wet soil for long periods or their crowns could rot.
