HOW TO GROW
Plant SunPatiens® in full sun or part shade areas that receive filtered sun or 4 hours or more of light. Soil should drain well (avoid heavy clay soils) and contain a 10-20% organic matter. SunPatiens are very light feeders, and excessive fertilizer may result in reduced flowering and weak stems. If applying liquid fertilizer, use 1/4 to 1/3 the typical rate every 3-4 weeks. Another option is to apply a slow release fertilizer at planting at 1/2 the typical rate. Keep well watered especially during the first 2 weeks after transplanting. Do NOT pinch this plant as it can adversely impact plants natural symmetry and delays flowering.
