Are Sunpatiens affected by extreme heat and or winds?

In general, SunPatiens do well under warm and humid conditions, but strong drying winds can tax the plants. Stressful conditions can fade the flowers and draw moisture from the plant tissue, but the plants should be able to handle this.

SunPatiens do tolerate some wilting so be careful not to overwater them which can cause root rot. We suggest allowing the soil to thoroughly dry in between irrigations to make the plant’s roots work a bit harder which will strengthen them and tone the plants.
