New Guinea ImpatiensNew Guinea Impatiens are a beautiful plant that require a good location to do well. They have been advertised as an Impatiens for sunny locations, but this is not really true. They will handle a fair amount of sun if they get plenty of water, but they really do better if they are in partial shade.Soil is important for New Guinea Impatiens. They do best in soil with high amounts of organic matter. If you are going to grow them in a bed, make certain that the soil is moist, well drained, and full of organic matter. When grown in containers it is easier to get the "perfect" soil. They will grow very well in almost any good potting mix. They can be grown as a group or as part of a mixed planting. Make sure they don't ever dry to the wilting point. You don't want the soil to be waterlogged, but you don't want it to ever completely dry either.
