Latin Name: Impatiens walleriana ‘Super Elfin XP’ 

The Impatiens ‘Super Elfin XP’ is a compact, shade-loving annual celebrated for its vibrant, non-stop blooms and disease resistance. Growing 8–12 inches (20–30 cm) tall, it’s perfect for shady beds, containers, and hanging baskets.

This improved F1 hybrid produces 1.5–2 inch (4–5 cm) flowers in bold shades of pink, red, orange, white, and lavender, with a mounded, bushy habit. Unlike older varieties, the XP (Extra Performance) series offers enhanced resistance to downy mildew, a common impatiens issue.

Thriving in partial to full shade, it prefers moist, well-draining soil and blooms spring until frost without deadheading. Its glossy green leaves remain lush even in humid conditions.

Ideal for woodland gardens or patio pots, pair it with coleus, ferns, or begonias for a shade-tolerant color explosion.
