The amazing sunpatiens

[shushkin!]

I have a feeling that these have only really hit the public place this year but its worth a ask. Has anyone grown these before?
They of course look and sound impressive but I would like to know of course if they are all they are cracked up to be. Can I propagate these like I do my doubles in water etc.

Cheers

I grew these last year & they were brilliant, a bit like the new guinea bizzy lizzy. Unfortunately the company I bought them from are not selling them this year.

thanks Bigmallly
I shall give them a whirl on your recommendation. They apparently need some heat
so I will put them in the sun unlike the rest of my ordinary bizzies.

Growing these again!

I did go for the plunge and get some of these as plugs. I am
well impressed. I have to say they sulked a bit if they got the
least dry when it was really hot here a few weeks back but they
have grown like mad since with all the rain and look fab.
I think we can take from that that the plants are not really
for hot summers unless you can keep them moist all the time.
I put them amongst my dahlias in the front to provide some
colour before the dahlias really kicked in.
I will take a pic today of the front to show you what I mean
