🌺 What Makes Beacon® Sanibel Mix Special?

The Beacon® Sanibel Mix includes deep coral, lavender-violet, and bright white blooms that pop beautifully against rich green foliage. These colors offer an eye-catching contrast, even in shaded areas where other plants struggle to stand out. The compact, mounding habit (10–12" tall and wide) makes them ideal for:

  • Mass plantings

  • Border edging

  • Hanging baskets

  • Shaded patio containers

  • Public landscape displays

This mix is part of the Beacon® series, which was bred specifically to resist the devastating effects of Impatiens Downy Mildew, a disease that wiped out bedding impatiens across the U.S. for many seasons. Now, gardeners can enjoy these classic favorites with peace of mind.


🌱 Grow From Seed for Maximum Value

Starting your impatiens from seed is not only cost-effective — it's also rewarding and highly productive. Beacon® seeds are pelleted for easy sowing, and germinate reliably under the right conditions.

✅ Growing Tips:

  • Start seeds 8–10 weeks before the last frost

  • Do not cover with soil — light is required for germination

  • Maintain 70–75°F soil temperature

  • Transplant outdoors after frost danger has passed

These impatiens bloom approximately 8–10 weeks from sowing, providing vibrant color from early summer into fall with minimal maintenance.


🧺 Perfect for Shaded Areas with Limited Sunlight

Because Beacon® Sanibel Mix thrives in full to partial shade, it's ideal for spaces where sunlight is limited:

  • Under large trees

  • North-facing porches

  • Patio containers in shaded areas

  • Along fences or shady garden walls

They maintain their color and form all season and require very little upkeep — making them a great choice for busy homeowners and landscapers alike.
