Spectra™ Magenta Impatiens

Spectra™ Magenta is an interspecific New Guinea impatiens in Syngenta’s annual Spectra series. The current Magenta profile identifies product 70086574 and lists its flowers as purple, lavender, and violet, with a mounding 10–14-inch garden size. ## Garden Use Place it in hanging baskets or other containers, or group it in shade or part-sun landscape plantings. The exact product profile lists flowers from mid-spring through late spring and summer, and describes Spectra as earlier and more floriferous than standard New Guinea impatiens. It presents Magenta for season-long landscape color. ## Growing Conditions The product listing allows full shade, part shade, and part sun, and identifies this annual as heat-loving with a hardiness rating of USDA zone 9a. Syngenta lists 10–14 inches as both the garden height and width. Its recommended formats range from pint and quart containers to larger hanging baskets. ## Identity Spectra™ Magenta is the color selection identified by product code 70086574; the official profile gives the crop name as Impatiens interspecific and does not supply a cultivar denomination. Keep that trade name and code visible rather than substituting another Spectra color. ## Maintenance Syngenta describes Spectra as low maintenance, resistant to downy mildew, and quick to recover after rain. Remove storm-damaged stems as needed and keep containers well drained to maintain a neat mounding display.
