SunPatiens Tangy Taffy Impatiens
Overview SunPatiens Tangy Taffy is a compact, heat- and shade-tolerant impatiens variety that shines in gardens, containers, and hanging baskets. It produces abundant, rounded blooms in a lively coral-pink hue with a hint of orange—perfect for brightening shady spots or adding warm color to mixed plantings.
Key Features
Color: Coral-pink with subtle orange undertones (Tangy Taffy)
Habit: Compact, mounded growth ideal for containers, edging, and mass plantings
Blooming: Continuous, heavy flowering from spring through first frost
Light tolerance: Performs well in shade to part sun; tolerates more sun than traditional impatiens when kept evenly moist
Heat and humidity: Excellent tolerance to heat and humidity; resistant to wilting in summer conditions
Disease resistance: Improved resistance to common impatiens problems, including downy mildew compared with older varieties
Growing Tips
Light: Best in part shade to full shade; can handle morning sun or filtered light. In hotter climates, avoid hot afternoon sun.
Soil: Plant in well-draining, fertile soil amended with organic matter. A high-quality potting mix works well for containers.
Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. SunPatiens will tolerate brief dry spells better than traditional impatiens but perform best with regular watering.
Fertilizer: Feed every 4–6 weeks with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer during the growing season to encourage continuous blooms.
Spacing: Space 8–12 inches apart for mass planting or 6–8 inches in containers to allow a full, mounded appearance.
Maintenance: Deadheading is not necessary; remove spent flowers and trim back any leggy growth to maintain shape. Pinching young plants can promote bushier growth.
Landscape Uses
Shaded garden beds and borders
Containers and window boxes
Hanging baskets
Mixed annual combinations with coleus, ferns, or caladiums
Mass plantings for a bold, long-lasting color display
