SunPatiens® Compact Red Impatiens
Bright red blooms that never seem to quit—that’s the magic of SunPatiens Compact Red. This hybrid impatiens was bred to thrive where others fade: in sunny beds, steamy patios, and high-heat containers. The mounded plants stay tidy and even, so you can count on a well-groomed look from early spring right up to the first frost. We love how each velvety blossom pops against deep green foliage, turning ordinary spaces into eye-catching displays.
SunPatiens also bring peace of mind. They shrug off humidity, resist downy mildew, and keep flowering without constant deadheading. Just give them a drink when the top inch of soil dries out, feed once a month, and watch the color show roll on. Whether you pack them into porch pots or weave them through a sunny border, these impatiens work hard so you don’t have to.
