Impatiens Beacon Violet Shades has a blend of vibrant tones of bright violet and burgundy-violet with mid-green foliage on moderately vigorous plants.
“Bringing a light in the darkness and colour to the shade” aptly describes the fabulous long-awaited and brand-new Impatiens Beacon range, the gardener’s favourite Busy Lizzie, for versatility and summer long performance.
After many years of breeding efforts, the Beacon range has been proven to have high resistance to Impatiens Downy Mildew.
The Impatiens Beacon range are easy to grow, tough and reliable plants that will be in flower all season and perform well in baskets, window boxes, patio containers and flower beds in shaded areas.

Brookside Nursery Advice to help you get the best from your Impatien Beacon plants.
Impatien Beacon are the plants to have if you have a part sun/part shade area of the garden as they are adaptable to most situations and weather conditions. They have successfully replaced the older type of busy lizzie that was prone to downy mildew and the Beacon variety has proven its worth to gardeners. Once ready to plant outside, give them a fertile, well-draining soil. Preparing the area beforehand and enriching with compost or organic matter to make the soil moisture retentive but not waterlogged is advisable. Space approx. 10-12" (25-30cm) apart to give them plenty of room to grow without being overcrowded. Feed fortnightly with a liquid feed once the blooms appear and continue throughout the growing season. Too little water will result in wilting and blooms dropping off whilst too much water and deep shade can cause the plant to stretch and reduce flowering. Deadheading - Impatien do not generally require deadheading. They are ‘self-cleaning’ which means that the plant removes old blooms itself which in turn allows new flowers to form.*** For packs of 40 plug plants gently remove the small plugs from the tray by pushing up from the bottom using a pencil.
