Guide for Creating a Shade Garden Oasis
For an amazing garden oasis in the shade, we got you covered. Create a lush garden retreat with impatiens and a few shade-friendly companions because even stunning gardens don’t need full sun. The trick is using tropical plants with your Beacon® Impatiens OR using plants that carry through those tropical colors.
1. When planting in-ground, creating that shade oasis is easy. Think of a lush almost jungle-like atmosphere with tropical plants growing beside impatiens.
2. Find various colors of Beacon Impatiens, which include: Violet, Blue Pearl, Coral, Lipstick and Rose just to name a few.
3. Cordyline Fruticosa Harlequin can be planted for an element of height and vibrant color. This tropical evergreen shrub (Zone 10a-12b) is known for its dramatic, colorful foliage featuring blends of bright green, pink, red and cream.
4. ChargedUp™ Dragon Heart Coleus is a vigorous, low-maintenance shade companion. Featuring vibrant, lime-green leaves with deep burgundy-pink centers and serrated edges, it’s a great option for high impact in your landscape and containers.
5. Speaking of containers, it’s completely possible to have a shade container garden. With multiple flowerpots and container sizes, the range of impatiens and plants with a tropical feel are endless. Take a look at this example, featuring rich tropical colors and a variety of textures from: Beacon Impatiens Violet, Philodendron, Kong® Coleus Salmon Pink, Plectranthus Mona Magenta, Whopper® Begonia Red Bronze Leaf, Heuchera Carnival Cinnamon Stick, and Lysimachia Goldilocks.
