Sun Impatiens are the sun-tolerant answer to a classic shade plant — bred to hold their bloom in full South Florida sun where traditional impatiens would wilt. They produce a nonstop carpet of flowers in vivid pinks, reds, oranges, whites, and purples from the day you plant them, making them one of the fastest ways to fill a bed with dependable color.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to Plant & Care for Sun Impatiens in Florida
Pick a Bright Spot
Most flowering plants prefer full sun for best blooms. Morning sun with afternoon shade works well for many varieties.
Prep Loose Soil
Dig a wide hole and loosen surrounding soil so roots can spread easily.
Plant + Settle
Plant level to slightly above grade. Backfill gently and water thoroughly to eliminate air pockets.
Frequent Early Watering
Water consistently for the first 1–2 weeks. Flowers dry out faster than shrubs, especially in heat.
Deadhead + Feed
Remove spent blooms to encourage new flowers. Light fertilizing after establishment boosts color and growth.

What Florida Customers Say
My experiences with Dinos have been wonderful. The communication about my orders & delivery was spot on, the deliveries guys quick, efficient and friendly - they even cleaned up fallen leaves from the driveway. But its the product that shined the most. Healthy, lush, vibrant. The same size posts as local nurseries - but the plants themselves were larger, fuller and more robust than anywhere we shopped. I cant say enough great things about their operations, their services and their products.
After scouring the internet for reviews for Landscapers I came across Dino's Palms and sure glad I did! The owner's husband and wife came and were very helpful picking out everything we wanted! We made a deal on doing my entire property and they personally came with a crew to install in one day! The plants were healthy and beautiful and the price for everything was much cheaper than anyone else!
Do not look any further. These guys are awesome. Punctual, WAY more affordable plants than Home Depot, and the quality of plants delivered were far superior than any nursery I've been to. Great to deal with and very professional. Our installer went above and beyond to insure our satisfaction and he was a true professional.
