Impatiens Beacon® Lipstick delivers bold, saturated color and outstanding garden performance, even in shady areas where many flowers struggle. The plants form a neat, mounded habit, reaching 14 to 18 inches tall and spreading 12 to 14 inches wide. Its uniform growth makes it an excellent choice for mass plantings, border edges, mixed containers, and hanging baskets.
Part of the award-winning Beacon® series, Beacon® Lipstick features vibrant, deep pink blooms with a luminous finish?like a fresh swipe of lipstick?that brighten containers, beds, and baskets from late spring through frost. It also has a high resistance to Downy Mildew, so you can plant confidently, knowing your display will remain healthy and full all season long.
Start seeds indoors 8 to 10 weeks before your last frost date, and transplant outdoors once temperatures remain consistently above 50°F. Beacon® Lipstick thrives in partial to full shade and prefers rich, well-draining soil kept evenly moist. Expect blooms to begin in late spring and continue through summer into early fall, providing long-lasting color with very little maintenance.
