Impatiens Growing Guide

pink impatiens flowers

A stunning annual that makes for a great house plant, impatiens are delicate florals that work as well for summer bedding as they do in containers. If you’re thinking of growing impatiens in pots, you may need a little bit of help to keep these beauties blooming for as long as possible. Follow our guide for florals to learn when to plant your impatiens, how long they’ll last, and which pests and diseases you’ll need to look out for when growing impatiens in containers!

How to Get Started

We recommend planting your impatiens right after the last spring frost. Make sure your flowers are in slightly moist but well-draining soil and keep them sheltered from both strong sun and wind. If you plant your impatiens close together, they will grow taller. When growing impatiens in pots, we suggest a soil-less growing mixture to ensure even better drainage.

Before growing impatiens in containers, make sure that you can provide the ideal climate for thriving growth.
