BEACON Violet Shades Impatiens
This series represents years of efforts by plant breeders to develop a series of impatiens that are resistant to the downy mildew disease that devastated the crop not too long ago. Healthy plants featuring flowers in shades of violet thrive in shaded to partly shaded landscape settings, containers, and window boxes from early summer through the heat and humidity of July and August and into the end of the season in mid-October. Other than drought, they tolerate most of the conditions found in Chicago-area gardens.
