Sunpatiens® Compact Electric Orange PP# 24675

Plant name: SunPatiens® Compact Electric Orange PP#24675

Scientific name: Impatiens hawkeri hybrid ‘Compact Electric Orange’ PP#24675

Plant description:
SunPatiens® Compact Electric Orange is a patented hybrid impatiens bred for compact growth, strong branching, and continuous bloom in sun or partial shade. This series is known for sturdy stems and a dense, mounded habit that maintains structure through the growing season. It is widely used for dependable landscape color in beds, borders, and containers due to its uniform performance and resistance to common impatiens diseases.

Flower description:
Large, flat blooms in vivid electric orange cover the plant from late spring until frost. Flowers typically measure 2–3 inches across and are produced continuously without the need for deadheading. The saturated orange tone remains bright in full sun and provides strong contrast against green foliage.

Leaf description:
Leaves are lance-shaped, smooth, and deep green with a slightly glossy finish. Foliage grows densely along well-branched stems, creating a full backdrop that supports heavy bloom coverage.

Deciduous or evergreen:
Grown as an annual in most climates; evergreen in frost-free regions

USDA grow zones:
USDA Zones 10–11 as a perennial; grown as an annual in all zones

Mature height and width:
Typically 14–20 inches tall and 14–20 inches wide, forming a compact, rounded mound

Landscape uses:
Suitable for mass plantings, foundation beds, mixed borders, and large patio containers. Performs well in both sunny and partially shaded locations, making it adaptable for varied landscape designs. Effective for creating consistent blocks of bold seasonal color.

Native range:
Derived from New Guinea impatiens species native to Papua New Guinea; ‘Compact Electric Orange’ is a cultivated hybrid

Sun exposure:
Full sun to partial shade. Unlike traditional impatiens, it tolerates direct sunlight while also performing reliably in filtered light.

Water requirements:
Requires consistent moisture for optimal growth and flowering. Soil should remain evenly moist but well-drained. Avoid prolonged drought stress, which can reduce bloom production and overall vigor.

Pests and problems:
Generally resistant to downy mildew and other common impatiens diseases. May occasionally experience aphids or spider mites during periods of stress. Adequate spacing improves airflow and reduces disease risk.

Heat and sun tolerance:
Excellent tolerance of heat and strong sunlight. Maintains bloom production and foliage quality through warm growing conditions when moisture is consistent.

Cold tolerance:
Sensitive to frost. Growth slows in cool temperatures, and freezing conditions will kill the plant.

Growing tips:
Plant in fertile, well-drained soil with adequate spacing for airflow. Maintain steady moisture throughout the growing season to support continuous bloom production. Light feeding with a balanced fertilizer encourages steady growth without excessive foliage. Remove damaged or elongated stems as needed to maintain a uniform, compact shape.
