This heat-tolerant potted flower has a blooming period of up to half a year, at its most beautiful in midsummer, and is well worth growing for both its foliage and its flowers.
Introduction
Green plants in pots have become essential decorative elements in home life. Keeping some flowers and plants at home brings many benefits: they beautify the room and also soothe the mind and cultivate character. "Flower Voice Potted Plant Diary, Issue 1067" introduces you to a very heat-tolerant plant.
Summers are hot and scorching, and many plants grown outdoors cannot survive the summer. Many beautiful flowers, such as clematis, Rieger begonia, and rose of Sharon, are famously known as "certain death in summer." In summer, flowering plants are scarce, especially those with color. The flower introduced today is called SunPatiens. It does not fear high heat and scorching summer, and its flower colors are colorful. It is an emerging ornamental flower.
SunPatiens is a new variety of Impatiens, bred by the world-renowned horticultural company Sakata Seed Corporation of Japan. It features beautiful flower shapes, brilliant flower colors, and abundant blooms, and it is tolerant of high temperatures, tolerant of humidity, and fond of light. It also performs well in summer. Since coming onto the market in 2006, it has attracted widespread attention worldwide, and it has been introduced for trial planting in Shanghai and other places in China.
Because of its many excellent qualities, SunPatiens has been given the fine name "super impatiens." It currently comes in eight flower colors: white, orange, purplish red, salmon (variegated foliage), light purple, light pink, salmon, and coral. Its blooming period is very long, lasting from spring all the way into late autumn. The number of flowers is abundant, with flowers on every branch. At peak bloom, there are more flowers than leaves, and it easily fills out a pot.
SunPatiens has extremely strong adaptability to the environment. It is not only heat-tolerant but also very rain-tolerant. In hot, rainy summers, it can still bloom continuously, and whether under strong light or in sheltered conditions, its flowering quantity is abundant. Its plant form is compact and its growth is vigorous. Its crown diameter can reach more than 1 m, and without pinching or topping, it easily grows into a ball shape, making it effortless and easy to grow.
By comparison, SunPatiens has more advantages than the common New Guinea impatiens. It can be planted in flower beds and flower borders, and can also be used as a potted flower, or used for flower walls, flower columns, or flower boxes. It not only has high ornamental value but also has a strong ability to purify the air. Its absorption of nitrogen dioxide and formaldehyde is greater than that of pothos and spider plants, making it a rising new star among ornamental plants and even more worth having.
