Planting and Placement Tips

Correct planting and positioning are key to getting the most from your Impatiens NG 'Tamarinda' Mix.

• Location:

  • Prefers partial shade to filtered sun. Unlike traditional impatiens, New Guinea types can tolerate more sun, especially in cooler climates.

  • In hotter regions, provide some afternoon shade to prevent leaf scorch.

• Soil:

  • Requires moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Avoid dry, sandy soils or heavy clay unless amended with compost.

• Spacing:

  • Allow approximately 25–35cm between plants to promote air circulation and reduce the risk of fungal diseases.

• Container planting:

  • Performs beautifully in containers with a high-quality, moisture-retentive compost. Make sure pots have adequate drainage holes.

• Planting time:

  • Best planted after the last frost in spring when the soil has warmed up.

Care and Maintenance

Impatiens NG 'Tamarinda' Mix is relatively easy to care for, provided their moisture and nutritional needs are met.

• Watering:

  • Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. These plants are sensitive to drying out, especially in sunny positions or containers.

  • In hot weather, daily watering may be required, particularly for potted plants.

• Feeding:

  • Feed every two to three weeks with a high-potassium liquid fertiliser (such as tomato feed) to encourage lush blooms and strong growth.

• Deadheading:

  • Although self-cleaning, you can gently remove faded blooms to keep plants tidy and promote continuous flowering.

• Pruning and shaping:

  • Light pinching of leggy stems will help maintain a compact and full appearance throughout the season.

• Pests and diseases:

  • Generally pest-resistant, though keep an eye out for aphids and spider mites in dry conditions.

  • Ensure proper spacing and air circulation to prevent mildew or fungal issues.

• Winter care:

  • Typically grown as an annual in most climates. In frost-free areas or indoors, they can survive year-round.

  • To overwinter, take cuttings or move plants indoors before temperatures fall below 10°C.

Ideal Uses and Display Suggestions

Impatiens NG 'Tamarinda' Mix is an excellent choice for gardeners looking for impactful, colourful displays with minimal fuss.

• Containers and baskets:

  • Their continuous flowering and bold foliage make them perfect for patio containers, window boxes, or hanging baskets.

• Borders and beds:

  • Plant en masse for a striking ground cover or border edge. Mix with contrasting foliage plants or ferns for texture.

• Shade gardens:

  • A wonderful addition to shady spots that need a burst of colour where other bedding plants may struggle.

  • Can be grown indoors in bright, indirect light as temporary houseplants or for overwintering.
