Sonic® Lilac Impatiens

Sonic® Lilac New Guinea impatiens is the Impatiens hawkeri selection identified by Syngenta Flowers product code 70003741. Its flowers are listed as purple, lavender, and violet, and the product page describes a compact-to-medium, mounded plant for shade gardens. Syngenta lists full shade, part shade, and part sun, with flowering from mid spring through late spring and summer. The product page lists a garden height and width of 10–14 inches; the vegetative Sonic culture guide lists a 12–14-inch height and 10–14-inch width. Keep both published height profiles in mind when planning spacing. The guide includes packs, containers, hanging baskets, landscapes, patio pots, and combinations among its uses. Grow it in moist, organic-rich, well-drained soil and keep root-zone moisture even, especially in pots and baskets. Species-level extension guidance describes New Guinea impatiens as a tropical plant that prefers bright shade and even moisture. The product page lists hardiness 11a; broader species-level references report a wider 10a–12b range, so use the selection-specific rating when choosing a site. In climates with frost, grow it as warm-season bedding or in a movable container. ## Maintenance Keep the soil evenly moist without leaving roots in standing water. Remove spent flowers and damaged foliage as needed, check for pests, and protect the plant from frost.
