SOL LUNA™ Compact Pink New Guinea Impatiens

**SOL LUNA™ Compact Pink** is a mounded New Guinea-type impatiens with large, single pink flowers. Danziger places the selection in the SOL LUNA™ Compact series, lists it for ground-cover and landscape use, and gives a height range of 12–16 inches and a width range of 12–14 inches. ([Selection page](https://www.danzigeronline.com/catalog/annuals/sol-luna-pink/); [compact-series profile](https://www.danzigeronline.com/series_annuals/sol-luna/)) ## Landscape Use Use it for seasonal color in a low groundcover planting or as a rounded color block in sunny or partly shaded beds. Danziger lists this selection for groundcover and landscape use. The [North Carolina Extension Gardener Plant Toolbox](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/impatiens-hawkeri/) also describes New Guinea impatiens as suitable for borders, walkways, foundation plantings, hanging baskets, and mass plantings; those are broad group uses rather than cultivar-specific dimensions or performance claims. ## Siting and Soil Danziger says the SOL LUNA™ Compact series performs in sunny and shaded conditions. NC State notes that *Impatiens hawkeri* generally does best in partial shade and moist, well-drained soil supplemented with organic matter, and that plants receiving more sun need more water. Treat this as broad New Guinea impatiens guidance and adjust exposure to local heat and moisture. ## Maintenance Set plants outdoors about two weeks after the average last spring frost. Keep the root zone moist without leaving it waterlogged or allowing it to 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.
