Fusion Infrared Apricot Impatiens

Fusion Infrared Apricot is Ball Horticultural’s trade name for the cultivar ‘Balfusinred’. The U.S. plant patent identifies it as Impatiens walleriana × auricoma and describes single, cupped flowers, an upright and mounded habit, moderate vigor, and good basal branching. The patent reports an approximately 9.3-inch-tall by 15.2-inch-wide plant 15 weeks after planting a rooted cutting; a separate cultivar profile lists a 12–16-inch mature range for both dimensions and USDA zones 10a–11. The patent and breeder-rights record describe the flower color in red terms, while the trade profile labels it apricot, so the profile records both descriptions. The patent reports garden flowering from spring through fall. The exact cultivar profile gives exposure from mostly sun to mostly shade, rich well-drained soil, and even moisture. It is also described in the existing record as suitable for mixed containers. ## Maintenance Keep the growing medium evenly moist and well drained. Check moisture during warm weather, remove damaged foliage, and monitor for pests.
