Impatiens walleriana Beacon® Mix
Touch-me-not, Busy Lizzie
Arrived on time, well-packaged and vigorous young plants. Lightly watered upon arrival and planted in buckets the next day. Excellent recovery, and after 2 months in my (heated) greenhouse, they are STUNNING, in flower, with the most beautiful effect. Now the plants are in the ground to create a lovely flower bed. Well done to Promesses de fleurs, a very seriate site that I recommend whenever I can.

Description
The Impatiens walleriana 'Beacon Mix' are next-generation varieties, naturally disease-resistant and tolerant to sun unlike classic impatiens. They are also compact, bushy plants that flower profusely from spring to the end of summer. Their blooms - in vivid red, coral, orange, salmon, violet or white depending on the plants - create magnificent and long-lasting multicoloured displays in large flower beds. Frost-sensitive perennial plants, they should be grown as annuals. Beautiful in beds, they are also excellent plants for pots and summer arrangements.
'Beacon' Impatiens is a hybrid cultivar from the Balsaminaceae family, derived from Impatiens walleriana, a botanical species native to tropical Africa. Beacon series plants grow quickly and are grown as annuals in our climates. They have been selected in the USA for their ability to tolerate full sun exposure, and their resistance to powdery mildew and other diseases that usually affect these plants.
'Beacon' Impatiens develops from a thick stump into an erect clump with sturdy stems, with a bushy and spreading habit, reaching a height of 40 to 50 cm (19.7 in) and a diameter of about 35 cm (13.8 in). It is a very floriferous Impatiens, in bloom from June until the first frost in October. It has simple, cup-shaped flowers, open and of varying colours depending on the plants, which carry a spur. Its finely toothed, pointed oval leaves are a beautiful dark green.
'Beacon' is more disease-resistant than the classic Impatiens. It is suitable for large flower beds or borders, bringing charm and elegance. It is also a plant that has few rivals when it comes to enlivening partially shaded areas of the garden, similar to begonias. In the sun it pairs well with companion plants such as foxtail amaranthus. In summer compositions it blends beautifully with petunias, annual salvias, ivy geraniums, or ground cover plants with decorative foliage such as Lysimachia Goldilocks.
Please note that our young plants in mini-plugs are professional products intended for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant and store them under shelter (veranda, greenhouse, frame) at a temperature above 14C° for a few weeks before planting outside once all risk of frost has passed.

Planting and care
Beacon Mix Impatiens are easy to grow. Plant it in the ground in spring from March to May, in full sun or partial shade, after the last frost has definitely passed, and it will flower from June until the first frost in October. To speed up its growth, pre-cultivate in a pot in a warm and bright place. Place the Impatiens in well-drained and humus-rich soil. Water regularly but be careful not to overwater. Pruning is not necessary. Very floriferous and fast-growing, it is hungry. Feed with a liquid fertiliser for containers once or twice a week during the growing season. Remove faded flowers and dry leaves as they appear to keep it looking beautiful and extend the flowering period. Be careful to protect it from slugs that enjoy their young leaves, but otherwise the Impatiens Beacon is resistant to diseases.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
