Hot New Colours Join the Disease-Resistant Series
Announcing a popular colour addition for the Beacon Series, NEW Lipstick, along with bold NEW Pearl Island Mixture, a 3-colour mix named after a well-known lighthouse in Nova Scotia, Canada, where Impatiens downy mildew has been a significant problem. This mix joins the three mixes introduced in 2023, expanding the versatile series with high resistance to the widely prevalent populations of Plasmopara destructor, the cause of Impatiens downy mildew. These impatiens are suitable for packs, pots, hanging baskets and in-ground beds. Beacon Impatiens will continue to help “shine the light” on lesser-known diseases by supporting a different charitable organisation each year with a percentage of sales.
