Imara® XDR Hot! Mix Impatiens

This seed-produced *Impatiens walleriana* selection belongs to Syngenta’s Imara® XDR series and is listed as product 70099071. The producer describes a compact, mounding plant for full to part shade, flowering from late spring through summer, with a high degree of downy-mildew resistance; that claim does not mean immunity. ## Plant profile The official record lists 10–12 inches for both garden height and width and recommends large packs and pots. It describes compact branching for high-density production and reliable flowering in the landscape. The product’s exact name, “Imara® XDR Hot! Mix,” identifies a mixed selection, but the product record does not enumerate its flower-color components, so no individual colors are inferred. [Syngenta Flowers’ product record](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70099071). ## Growing conditions The species-level [NC State Extension profile](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/impatiens-walleriana/) recommends part shade to full shade and moist, well-drained soil supplemented with organic matter. It notes that partly sunny sites can work with adequate water, while hot, dry spells call for extra watering. The profile also advises avoiding overwatering and gives a slightly acidic soil preference. ## Seasonal interest and use The exact product listing gives late spring and summer as flowering times. NC State describes the species in containers, hanging baskets, mass plantings along shady borders, beneath trees, and in woodland settings. It notes that this tropical perennial is often grown as an annual. ## Maintenance Keep the soil moist but well-drained; provide extra water in partly sunny locations and hot, dry weather, and avoid waterlogging. If growth becomes leggy in late summer, trim it back to encourage fresh blooms.
