Rockapulco Appleblossom Double Impatiens

Rockapulco® Appleblossom is a double-flowered Impatiens walleriana with a mounded habit and pink, rosebud-like blooms. It grows about 10–20 inches tall and 12–24 inches wide, flowering from spring to frost in part shade to shade. ## Seasonal Interest The flowers open in spring and continue through summer until frost, with dark green foliage behind the blooms. Proven Winners lists pink flowers, a 10–20-inch height, a 12–24-inch spread, and uses in containers, landscape plantings, and combinations. [Proven Winners](https://www.provenwinners.com/p/8822) provides the selection-specific details. ## Growing Conditions Choose part shade to shade and moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic material. [NC State Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/impatiens-walleriana/) notes that sunnier sites need additional water and that overwatering can cause rot. The breeder lists this selection for USDA zones 10–11. ## Maintenance Keep the root zone from drying during hot weather and allow excess water to drain. Deadheading is optional; remove spent flowers for a tidy look. If the plant becomes leggy late in the season, trim it lightly to encourage fresh growth.
