What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly celebrate the aesthetic appeal and robust performance of the Florific Red F1 Impatiens. Gardeners consistently praise the striking true red color and the uniform, vigorous growth typical of this hybrid.

Know before you buy
No, you should not cover the seeds. They require light to germinate, so press them firmly into the soil surface but leave them exposed.
Since these plants have a spread of 12 to 14 inches, you should space them at least 12 inches apart to allow for proper airflow and healthy growth.
Not at all. This variety is bred for a compact, well-branched habit, which means you won't need to spend time pinching them back to keep them looking tidy.
You can expect a production cycle of 12 to 14 weeks. This fast turnaround makes them a great choice if you are looking to fill hanging baskets or pots relatively quickly.
For the best results, maintain a soil temperature between 75°F and 80°F. Once the seeds have germinated, you can lower the daytime temperature to 65-70°F.
