SOL LUNA™ Red Impatiens new Guinea

‘SOL LUNA™ Red’ is the red-flowered selection in Danziger’s SOL LUNA hybrid Impatiens line. The breeder describes the series as mounded, heat tolerant, suitable for sunny or shaded locations, and flowering in spring and summer. Its technical sheet lists height as 12–16 in (25–41 cm) and spread as 12–14 in (30–36 cm); the height measures do not convert exactly at the lower endpoint, so treat the two units as approximate ranges rather than a single point.

Site it where light can be adjusted to the setting, as the breeder says it performs in both sunny and shaded conditions. In containers, account for the smaller rooting volume and check moisture as sunny, warm conditions increase drying. ## Soil and Water For general New Guinea impatiens culture, NC State recommends partial shade and organic-rich, well-drained soil kept evenly moist; sunnier locations need more watering. Use this as broad Impatiens guidance alongside the breeder’s hybrid-series information.

In beds, maintain even moisture while plants establish and during active flowering. Remove damaged flowers or foliage as needed to keep displays tidy.
