Swallowtail Garden Seeds Impatiens Beacon

Yes, the Beacon series was specifically bred for high resistance to Impatiens downy mildew. While no plant is completely immune, this variety is significantly more reliable and healthier than traditional impatiens, which often succumb to the disease.

No, these impatiens prefer morning sun or dappled shade. If you plant them in full, intense afternoon sun, the foliage will likely scorch and the blooms will fade quickly.

Each packet contains 30 seeds. Because they have a high germination rate, this is usually enough to get a solid start for a few containers or a small garden border.

One of the best features of the Beacon series is that they are self-cleaning. You do not need to remove spent blooms; the plants will continue to produce fresh flowers throughout the spring and summer on their own.

Absolutely. Their uniform, mounding habit makes them an excellent choice for hanging baskets, window boxes, and containers where you want a tidy, lush look without the plant becoming too leggy.

No, these are annuals. They are designed to provide a full season of color from spring through summer, but they will not survive the winter or return the following year.
