Growing Tips for Accent Bright Eyes Impatiens

Step 1: Start Indoors

Begin seeds indoors about 8–10 weeks before the last frost. Use a fine, sterile seed-starting mix. Sow seeds on the surface of the soil without covering them—impatiens need light to germinate. Maintain temperatures between 70–75°F, and expect germination in 10–15 days.

Step 2: Transplanting Seedlings

When seedlings develop two sets of true leaves, transplant them into small pots or cell packs. Continue to provide bright light and keep soil evenly moist. Harden them off gradually before moving outdoors.

Step 3: Outdoor Planting

Plant in fertile, well-drained soil in shaded or partially shaded areas. Space plants 8–10 inches apart to encourage airflow and even growth.

Step 4: Care & Maintenance

  • Water: Keep soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging.

  • Fertilizer: Apply a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2–3 weeks.

  • Pruning: Pinch young plants to encourage fuller branching and more blooms.
