Grow New Guinea Impatiens
In this video, we spotlight the stunning New Guinea Impatiens (Impatiens hawkeri) – a colourful, mildew-resistant flowering plant that’s perfect for shady areas. With bold blooms, lush foliage, and a reputation for toughness, these impatiens are a top choice for container gardens, hanging baskets, and shaded beds that need a vibrant burst of colour.
Plant Details:
• Botanical Name: Impatiens hawkeri
• Common Name: New Guinea Impatiens
• Family: Balsaminaceae
• Type: Tender perennial (grown as an annual in most climates)
• Height/Spread: 12–24 in (30–60 cm) tall and wide
• Foliage: Glossy, lance-shaped leaves in shades of green, bronze, or variegated
• Flowers: Large, vividly coloured blooms – pink, red, orange, lavender, white, and more
• Bloom Time: Late spring through first frost (continuous blooming)
• Light Requirements: Bright shade to partial sun; avoid hot afternoon sun
• Soil: Moist, fertile, well-drained soil
• Hardiness Zones: USDA 10–11 (grown as an annual in cooler zones)
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist, but avoid soggy conditions
• Maintenance: Low; deadheading not necessary
Mildew Resistance:
Unlike traditional impatiens (Impatiens walleriana), New Guinea Impatiens are highly resistant to downy mildew, a fungal disease that devastated impatiens in recent years. This makes them an excellent alternative for gardeners who want colorful flowers without the risk of widespread disease.
Pollinator Benefits: These nectar-rich flowers attract:
• Bees (especially in warmer regions)
• Butterflies – drawn to the vibrant colors and open blooms
While not top-tier pollinator plants, they add value to mixed beds and container gardens where pollinators are welcome.
Bear's Yorkshire Garden located in Northern England, a USDA zone 9a / RHS Rating H4 area, is filled with many annual and perennial plants and flowers, shrubs, a vegetable garden, fruit trees, greenhouse and a pond. The channel features the garden through the seasons and hopefully gives you the inspiration to grow your own plants and flowers.
