Bonzi(S) 5-10 ppm can be used to control habit early; Bonzi(D) 0.5-1.0 ppm applied as crop matures will control final height but not delay flowering or reduce flower size. Florel(S) 100-200 ppm can be used to improve branching but will usually not be needed. Bonzi(S) 5-15 ppm is effective for height control. Florel(S) 100-300 ppm can be used to improve branching but will not usually be needed.
Leafminers, thrips
Impatiens Necrotic Spot Virus, Botrytis, Pythium
Start feeding immediately after transplanting. Avoid water stress in all stages of crop. Avoid cold stress (night temperatures below 65°F/18°C). Maintain EC above 1.0 (SME). Use early PGR applications to achieve ideal finished plants. Glimmer requires less PGRs than Fiesta Double Impatiens. Start feeding immediately after transplanting. Avoid water stress in all stages of crop. Avoid cold stress (night temperatures below 65°F/18°C). Maintain EC above 1.0 (SME). Use early PGR application to achieve ideal finished plants. A light Bonzi drench when plant is three-quarters of finish size will promote flowering above the foliage. Maintain 68°F (20°C) average daily temperature to optimize bloom size and reduce time to flower. Cooler temperatures will extend crop time. Grow crop somewhat dry to help control growth and hasten flowering. Avoid excess micro-nutrients in the soil. With good cultural practices and environmental conditions, no PGRs will be needed.

Bonzi(S) 2-15 ppm can be used to control habit early; Bonzi(D) 0.25-2.0 ppm applied as crop matures will control final height but not delay flowering or reduce flower size.

Little Lucky should not need growth regulators due to its naturally compact habit.

Allow plants to dry regularly between waterings. Pinch as needed to shape. Feeding at recommended levels will promote vigorous plants that will continue to actively grow and flower. Allow plants to dry regularly between waterings. Pinch as needed to shape. Feeding at recommended levels will promote vigorous plants that will continue to actively grow and flower. Landmark varieties are more vigorous. Lucky varieties are naturally compact and free-branching. Pinch two weeks after transplant. Plants should be dry between watering. PassionFruit is not a vigorous variety and plants can benefit from a second pinch. Transplant 24-28 days after stick, and optional pinch again 10-14 days after transplant. 4-in. (10-cm) size may skip second pinch. Keep on dry side. Blue has a mounded, trailing habit, while Lavender has a trailing habit. Ideal for Spring and Summer throughout North America. Will flower in Autumn, Winter and early Spring in the Sunbelt.
