Solarscape® XL Brilliant Gems Mix Impatiens combines sun tolerance with dazzling tropical color, delivering a vibrant, low-maintenance solution for gardeners who want nonstop blooms?even in full sun. Plants form a lush, well-branched habit, reaching 11 to 13 inches tall with an 18 to 20 inch spread, filling in quickly and maintaining a dense, tidy shape all season. The large, showy blooms in shades of lilac, hot pink and blush sit above the foliage for maximum impact and visibility.
Unlike traditional impatiens, which fade or falter in high light, the Solarscape® XL series is bred for sun-loving performance, offering exceptional heat tolerance and resilience in bright conditions. That means Brilliant Gems Mix thrives where standard impatiens can't?bringing color to beds, borders, and baskets exposed to full sun to part shade.
Sow indoors 8 to 10 weeks before the last frost, and transplant outdoors once nighttime temperatures consistently remain above 55°F. These impatiens perform best in well-drained, fertile soil and appreciate consistent moisture, especially in sunnier locations. Blooming begins in late spring and continues through summer and into early fall, with minimal care required to keep the display going strong.
