Harmony™ Purple Cream Impatiens new Guinea

Harmony® Purple Cream is a New Guinea impatiens selection with large purple-and-cream flowers. Danziger describes it as an early-flowering, mounded plant suited to pots, hanging baskets, and landscape planting. ## Flowers and garden use The exact [Danziger Harmony® Purple Cream page](https://www.danzigeronline.com/catalog/annuals/harmony-purple-cream/) gives a mature height of 14–18 inches and width of 12–14 inches. The flowers are large, and Danziger reports a 12-week stick-to-flower trial for the selection. Use it where its compact, mounded form can fill a container or front-of-bed position without being crowded. ## Growing conditions New Guinea impatiens perform best with morning sun and afternoon shade. Give them evenly moist, well-drained soil; they suffer when allowed to become dry and can develop root problems in wet ground. Iowa State Extension recommends checking containers frequently and watering when the soil surface dries. In beds, a deep weekly soaking is usually enough, adjusted for heat and rainfall. These plants dislike cool nights, so wait until about two weeks after the average last spring frost before planting outdoors. ## Maintenance Keep moisture steady while avoiding standing water, and allow containers to drain freely. The [Iowa State cultural guide](https://yardandgarden.extension.iastate.edu/faq/what-are-cultural-requirements-new-guinea-impatiens) covers siting and watering. For taxonomy, [Plants of the World Online](https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/374127-1) classifies Impatiens hawkeri in Balsaminaceae; Danziger’s selection is listed under its New Guinea impatiens crop name.
