SOL LUNA™ Compact Electric Pink Impatiens

**SOL LUNA™ Compact Electric Pink** is a compact New Guinea-type impatiens with a mounding habit and large, single pink flowers. Danziger lists this selection for pots, packs, and landscape use, says the series performs in sun and shade, and gives ranges of 12–16 inches tall by 12–14 inches wide. ([Selection page](https://wpml.danzigeronline.com/catalog/annuals/sol-luna-electric-pink/); [compact-series profile](https://www.danzigeronline.com/series_annuals/sol-luna/)) ## Landscape Use Use it for seasonal color in patio pots, window boxes, and grouped beds. Its rounded form can soften a border edge or fill the front of a planting. The [North Carolina Extension Gardener Plant Toolbox](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/impatiens-hawkeri/) also describes New Guinea impatiens as useful in hanging baskets, borders, walkways, and mass plantings; these are species-group uses, while Danziger lists this exact selection for pots, packs, and landscape beds. ## Siting and Soil Danziger says SOL LUNA performs in both sun and shade. NC State notes that *Impatiens hawkeri* generally performs best in partial shade and moist, well-drained soil supplemented with organic matter, and that plants receiving more sun need more water. Use those as broad New Guinea impatiens guidelines for this hybrid and judge the exposure by local heat and moisture. ## Maintenance Set plants outdoors after cool spring nights pass. Keep the root zone moist but not waterlogged or dry. [Iowa State University Extension](https://yardandgarden.extension.iastate.edu/faq/what-are-cultural-requirements-new-guinea-impatiens) recommends checking container soil when its surface dries—daily during hot, windy weather may be necessary—while a deep weekly soak is usually sufficient for landscape beds.
