SunPatiens, A Next Generation Bedding Plant Barry Fugatt, Director of Horticulture at the Tulsa Garden Center and Linnaeus Teaching Garden at Woodward Park. Nothing sweeps me off my Tulsa that wasn’t decked out feet like flowers. Any flower. It with impatience. It was, for could be as grand as a daffodil years, the best-selling annual or as mundane as a dandelion of all time. But like so many puff. If it’s blooming, it has my plants that get over planted, it rapt attention. And over the developed problems, not the past several years, no flower least of which was the serious has captured my attention fungal disease: Downey Mildew. quite like SunPatiens. Common impatience truly SunPatiens is a revolutionary was the classic “Goldilocks” new hybrid bedding plant, a true plant--it only thrived in shady breakthrough in flower breeding. locations that were “not too I’m sure most gardeners hot, not to cold, but just right.” are familiar with common The new hybrid SunPatiens, full sun or part shade and it’s impatience. For decades there on the other hand, is as tough virtually immune to insect and was hardly a shady garden in as it is beautiful. It thrives in disease problems. I personally rate it number one among annual bedding plants in today’s nursery industry. Twenty-two new SunPatiens varieties were tested in the Linnaeus Teaching Garden in 2017. They flowered non-stop from May through November. And they performed this miraculous “bloom-a-thon” fete in one of the hottest areas of the Linnaeus Teaching Garden. On days when I was a little down or weary, I would head straight to the SunPatiens display to feast on the outlandish beauty spread out before me. The gorgeous floral display always lifted my spirit. 4 | IN THE GARDEN Spring 2019
