Beacon Impatiens are vibrant, shade-loving plants known for their bright, colorful blooms in shades of red, pink, orange, and white, making them perfect for hanging baskets. An interesting characteristic of Beacon Impatiens is their strong resistance to downy mildew, ensuring healthy, long-lasting blooms in shady spots where other impatiens may struggle.
In southern Louisiana, Beacon Impatiens in hanging baskets typically grow to a trailing height of 10 to 12 inches with a spread of 12 to 14 inches, creating a lush, full display. They thrive in partial to full shade and are well-suited to USDA zones 9-11, though they are not frost-tolerant and should be treated as annuals. For best results, keep the soil consistently moist and well-drained, with regular watering, especially during hot, dry weather, to maintain their vibrant blooms.
