The [Syngenta product page](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70007950) identifies Xtreme™ Violet, product 70007950, and lists hardiness zone 11a. ## Placement and growth Use this compact annual in shaded seasonal containers, packs, or landscape beds. Syngenta describes early, uniform flowering and branching across the Xtreme series. The product listing gives the Violet variety a garden height and width range of 8–10 inches; this range does not imply a single mature measurement. ## Soil and water Iowa State Extension’s guide to [garden impatiens](https://yardandgarden.extension.iastate.edu/how-to/growing-impatiens-home-garden) says I. walleriana performs best in moist, well-drained soil and partial shade. It can grow in heavier shade, though plants may become taller and flower less. Check container soil often and water when its surface dries; garden beds need water during dry periods. ## Maintenance Plant outdoors after frost danger has passed where relevant to the local climate. Keep the root zone evenly moist without leaving containers waterlogged, and adjust watering for heat, shade, and pot size.
