How to Grow Accent Orange Star from Seed

Step 1: Starting Indoors

Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost. Sow the seeds on the surface of a fine seed-starting mix—impatiens need light to germinate, so don’t cover them with soil. Keep the soil temperature between 70–75°F. Expect germination in about 10–15 days.

Step 2: Transplanting Seedlings

Once seedlings develop two or more sets of true leaves, transplant them into cell packs or small pots. Continue to provide bright light and water regularly. Harden plants off before moving them outdoors.

Step 3: Planting Outdoors

Choose well-drained, fertile soil in a shady or partially shady spot. Space plants 8–10 inches apart for uniform coverage and good airflow.

Step 4: Care & Maintenance

  • Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging.

  • Feeding: Fertilize every 2–3 weeks with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.

  • Pinching: Lightly pinch young plants to encourage branching and more blooms.

Accent Orange Star impatiens are low-maintenance once established, rewarding you with a season full of vibrant flowers.
