SunPatiens
with p. allen smith
If you come to the farm, you’ll notice that I’ve planted SunPatiens just about anywhere I could. From the porch to the fountain garden, SunPatiens are ever-present in the outdoor “rooms” of the farm.
They are low-maintenance and grow in sun or shade. They also fill out so nicely that they give a look of abundance to any container or bed I put them in.
What’s even better is I get to enjoy these beautiful blooms almost year-round. I love sitting out on the porch after a long day with a good book or a cocktail. Sometimes Duncan joins me, and we take in the beauty of the farm punctuated by the SunPatiens’ colorful blooms.
SunPatiens
SunPatiens® are the first impatiens that actually thrive in full sun to part shade. SunPatiens grow fast and fill in quickly thanks to their strong, durable root system. Many landscapers, homeowners, growers, and gardeners love the unstoppable flower power of SunPatiens with their unrivaled three-season performance. Follow these simple guidelines for optimal performance.
SunPatiens are Responsibly Sourced Flowers
Since the early 2000s, Sakata Seed Corporation has had an agreement with Republic of Indonesia regarding the development of SunPatiens. The genetic resources used to develop SunPatiens are native to Indonesia. Sakata and the Indonesian government have agreed on how these indigenous assets will be used to further develop SunPatiens, according to principles of the Convention on Biological Diversity. In exchange for the native resources used to develop SunPatiens, Sakata shares a portion of SunPatiens royalty proceeds with the Indonesian government. Learn more at sunpatiens.com.
