SunPatiens® Lilac Sunpatiens

The assigned SunPatiens® Lilac label is retained for this lilac-flowered hybrid impatiens selection. North Carolina Extension describes SunPatiens as an Impatiens × hybrida group, while the exact-name retailer page describes this Lilac selection and its garden size.

It gives mature dimensions of about 14 inches tall and wide and recommends baskets and containers; NC State also lists borders, slopes, and walkways for the broader group.

NC State's broader SunPatiens guidance favors full sun or part shade and advises against full shade; a bright part-shade site follows that group guidance while respecting the product-specific listing. Water regularly, since the broader group may develop leaf scorch if it dries out.

Remove damaged stems or trim lightly if needed to keep the plant tidy. Grow it as an annual where winter temperatures are too cold for this tropical hybrid.
