Magenta Bliss Interspecific Impatiens Seeds

Big-bloomed impatiens for full sun
Days to Maturity: 112

is the first interspecific impatiens series from seed. Magenta Bliss is a tender perennial, usually grown as an annual, offering late spring through late summer interest. The vibrant, satiny, warm magenta/violet-purple blooms cover the plant non-stop all season, adding tropical appeal to the garden.

The high-performance varieties in the series grow well in sun or shade and fill in quickly. Solarscape Magenta Bliss has a mounded habit of dense foliage with superior disease resistance, especially to impatiens downy mildew. It is shown to best effect when massed in beds and borders or in containers and hanging baskets. Solarscape Magenta Bliss is a great option for brightening areas with dappled sun, such as around the base of trees.

A beloved, low-maintenance garden staple, interspecific impatiens prefers partial to full sun and humus rich, moist, well-drained soil. It is important to keep impatiens well watered and protected from strong winds.

Growing interspecific impatiens from seed is easy. Start seeds indoors 8 to 10 weeks before the last frost date and transplant seedlings into the garden in spring when the threat of frost has passed.
