'Sunpatiens' is a new species of impatiens developed by Sakata by crossing a NG impatiens with a type of wild impatiens. The y have the flower size of NGs and lots of garden vigor from the wild.
They grow in sun or shade and handle heat and humidity, requiring less watering than NGs. They also remain unaffected by Imp Downey Mildew.

They used to be 'exclusive 'to HD stores, but now are findable most places mid-May. My favorite colors are below.
