How to grow New Guinea Impatiens Florific Mix seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start indoors 10-12 weeks before the last frost; impatiens need a long head start.
• Outdoors: Not frost-tolerant; move outdoors only after all danger of frost and when nights stay above 50°F (10°C).

Prepare Your Materials

• Seed-starting trays or pots (if indoors)
• Well-draining seed-starting mix
• Humidity dome or plastic wrap (to hold in moisture)
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Sow from January to March on the surface of moist seed mix; cover with vermiculite but do not exclude light.
• Water from below and keep humid with a cover; avoid setting a covered tray in direct sun.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Needed for germination; give bright light once seedlings sprout.
• Temperature: 72-75°F (22-24°C); above 80°F (27°C) produces leggy seedlings.
• Humidity: Keep humid with a dome or plastic wrap until germination.

Germination

• Germination typically takes 15-30 days.
• Give one weak feeding once seedlings are up, increasing strength as they grow.

Transplanting

• Pot on when seedlings are sturdy; plant out after frost, 8-12 inches apart.
• Harden off gradually before moving outdoors.

Care Tips

• Sun: Part shade; more sun-tolerant than bedding impatiens if roots stay moist.
• Water: Keep evenly moist; stems wilt quickly when dry.
• Fertilizer: Feed lightly and regularly; heavy feeding favors leaves over flowers.
• Remove faded flowers and trim lightly to keep plants compact.

Bloom Time:

Late spring until frost.
