Rockapulco® Red Double Impatiens

Rockapulco® Red is a double-flowered impatiens with red, rosebud-like blooms and dark green foliage. The Proven Winners selection is identified as Impatiens walleriana ‘Balfiesaled’; its rounded mound suits shaded beds, containers, and combination plantings. ## Growing Conditions Plant in part shade to shade and keep the soil from drying excessively. Well-drained soil and regular moisture support flowering, while deep shade can help protect the flowers in hot conditions. In most climates it is grown as a warm-season annual; the breeder lists it as hardy in USDA zones 10–11. ## Flowers and Size Plants typically reach 10–20 inches tall and spread 12–24 inches. Double red flowers begin in spring and continue through summer, with flowering extending until frost in suitable conditions. The spreading mound fills a container or shaded border without requiring a separate deadheading routine. ## Maintenance Water when the surface begins to dry and feed containers as directed on the fertilizer label. Deadheading is not required, though removing damaged growth keeps the planting neat. Allow space for the plant’s mature spread and avoid placing it where hot afternoon sun will dry the root zone quickly.
