    Rockapulco impatiens are very easy to care for, provide them with a shady location, give them a bit of fertilizer and don't let them dry out too much and they will be happy campers. The shouldn't need to be trimmed back, but can be pruned to shape them at any time. If they get too tall, you can cut them back to promote additional branching and a more compact habit.

    An application of fertilizer or compost on garden beds and regular fertilization of plants in pots will help ensure the best possible performance.

    Is there anyone who hasn't heard of Impatiens? They grow in shade; like warm weather; annual except in zones 10 - 11; have single or double flowers? Rockapulco, however, aren't your shade garden variety Impatiens. We're a new series from one of the world's best plant breeders. Rockapulco thrive in the hottest, most humid deep shade. Like inside a brick-walled courtyard in the Midwest or South.

    • I grew these in white and coral in baskets under a covered porch. They were drip irrigated every day during July & August.. These plants tried so hard to produce flowers in our high-desert heat, but they just couldn't do it. They did produce hundreds of buds, but dropped them all. In September when the temps dropped they finally kept the buds and I saw the first flowers. If your temps stay above 90 for long periods of time, I would not recommend them.

    • Beautiful, vigorous,...messy. I have four of these, paired with four of the "wisteria" color. I have them in two types of similar sized pots, in two colors that complement the flower color. They line each side of the fours steps leading to my front porch. It is a great look. After a short period of shock, in which they dropped most of their existing buds, they put on new growth and blooms right away. The flowers are plentiful, doubled and large for a impatiens at over 1". Their size is impressive, to the point where I worry they may get too large for their space. My only complaint is that the outer layers of the doubled blooms tend to brown before the rest and can make the plant looked stressed when it isn't at all. This is much more noticeable of the white, less so on the wisteria. Also, the several layers of petals fall off individually creating noticeable debris around the pots. A little maintenance is no big deal, otherwise very pleased.

    • I grew this plant in the garden in a shady spot in the garden combined with the Rockapulco Wisteria impatiens. It bloomed very well all summer. I would buy this plant again.
