SunPatiens® Compact Lavender Splash

SunPatiens® Compact Lavender Splash is the trade name for New Guinea impatiens cultivar ‘SAKIMP069’, with lavender flowers splashed in rose against dark bronze foliage. Ball’s exact selection pages list ranges of 14–24 by 12–20 inches and 12–32 by 12–26 inches, while Sakata’s 16–30 by 14–20 inches describes the broader Compact class; these reported profiles give planning context rather than a single mature point. This mounded selection flowers from spring through hard frost. ## Size and seasonal display Ball FloraPlant’s [exact cultivar page](https://www.ballfloraplant.com/Products/Details/?phid=096406602020006) gives the cultivar-specific height and spread, color pattern, and shade-or-sun exposure. A separate [Ball Seed product sheet](https://info.ballseed.com/WEBTRACKPLANTINFO.ASPX?PHID=096406602020006&env=P) reports a broader size range for the same cultivar, while Sakata’s [Compact profile](https://sakataornamentals.com/plantname/sunpatiens-compact/) describes the series class. Use the ranges as a planning envelope; they are not single mature-size points. Compact SunPatiens have dense branching and shorter internodes. ## Light, soil, and garden use The Ball product sheet lists sun and shade exposure and continuous seasonal flowering. For New Guinea impatiens generally, [NC State Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/impatiens-hawkeri/) recommends partial shade and moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter, noting that brighter placements need more water. This selection suits bedding, containers, and mixed seasonal displays; the broader species profile also supports hanging baskets and mass planting. ## Maintenance Keep soil moist but well drained, and check containers and sunny beds often during warm weather. Increase watering when exposure and heat speed drying, but avoid saturated soil. SunPatiens are described by Sakata as resistant to downy mildew; maintain ordinary spacing and remove damaged material as needed.
