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.

Dino's Palms just completed a full landscape install at our property in Tequesta. They planted 10 Christmas palms, 9 Coconuts, Silver buttonwood trees, hundreds of clusia, and more small plants. I cannot speak highly enough about the quality and service.
Great price for plants with delivery in PBC. They also did the install and did a great job! I ordered Saturday and had everything in by end of Tuesday. They were quick, upfront with pricing, reasonable and the plants are healthy and gorgeous. Highly recommend!
