How to plant & care for Sunpatiens
New Guinea Impatiens do best in a spot that gets the morning sun and shade for the rest of the day. They prefer shade over sun for their delicate flowers.
Prune as needed by cutting them back 6 inches or less. Deadheading will encourage new growth.
Cut back a stem 6 inches below the bloom, remove any leaves, and then place it in water. Once it begins to grow roots, plant it in soil.
Use a slow-release fertilizer when planting. New Guinea Impatiens don't require more fertilization than that.
