Care essentials
Light
SunPatiens perform best in full sun in NE Florida and are specifically bred for heat and sun tolerance. They will bloom in part shade but produce fewer flowers; avoid deep shade. Full sun exposure in zone 9b supports year-round flowering.
Water
Water consistently — daily in NE Florida's hot summer months — keeping soil evenly moist but never waterlogged. Use drip irrigation at the base to keep foliage dry and reduce disease risk in Florida's humid climate.
Soil & Fertilizer
Plant in moist, well-draining soil amended with organic matter; optimal pH is 5.8–6.5. Apply a balanced slow-release or water-soluble fertilizer monthly throughout the growing season to sustain the heavy bloom load typical in NE Florida's long warm season.
