Beacon Mixed is a reliable, downy mildew resistant variety of Impatiens that delivers vibrant summer bedding displays season after season. Producing masses of cheerful blooms in an assorted range of colours – including pink, coral, red, orange, and white tones – this variety brings bold, eye-catching garden impact to spaces that many other summer flowers struggle to fill. Its compact flowering habit makes it particularly well suited to container gardening, where a full, colourful display can be achieved in pots, patio planters, and decorative arrangements without taking up excessive space. Sow indoors between February and April, and expect colourful blooms from July through to October, giving you an extended season of long-lasting interest. The improved downy mildew resistance sets the Beacon Mixed variety apart from standard Impatiens, offering stronger, healthier plant performance throughout the growing season – a genuine advantage for gardeners who have previously experienced losses with less resilient strains. Whether you are filling a shaded border or brightening a balcony, this variety adapts well to both shaded and partially shaded spaces where bold summer colour is often hardest to achieve.
