Beacon® Rose Impatiens

Beacon® Rose is the named Rose selection in the Beacon series of Impatiens walleriana. PanAmerican identifies this entry with selection code PAS1377332 and lists spring through late-summer blooms, a mounded and upright habit, shade or partial-sun exposure, and 14–18 inches in height by 12–14 inches in spread ([PanAmerican Seed product page](https://www.panamseed.com/Products/034701686004669/impatiens-beacon-rose/)). ## Size and placement The breeder lists this selection for packs, pots, hanging baskets, and in-ground beds. Its dimensions describe a compact bedding form; use partial sun where regular moisture is available. NC State’s species profile favors partial to full shade and notes that too much sun can scorch leaves ([NC State Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/impatiens-walleriana/)). ## Soil and flowering Use moist, well-drained soil with high organic matter; NC State reports a neutral pH range of 6.0–8.0. PanAmerican lists flowering in spring, late spring, summer, and late summer. Its listed common names are Busy Lizzy and Patience Plant. ## Downy mildew The Beacon series has high resistance to widely prevalent populations of Plasmopara destructor, which causes impatiens downy mildew. PanAmerican states that the series is not immune and that preventative fungicides may be recommended in some scenarios ([PanAmerican Seed product page](https://www.panamseed.com/Products/034701686004669/impatiens-beacon-rose/)). ## Maintenance Keep the root zone evenly moist and provide adequate water in partly sunny sites. NC State lists I. walleriana for USDA zones 10a–11b and notes that it attracts butterflies and other pollinators; these are species-level context, not a Beacon® Rose-specific trial. Remove plants after frost where grown as annuals ([NC State Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/impatiens-walleriana/)).
