SunPatiens® 'Vigorous Orchid', is a fairly new SunPatiens® with mid-green leaves and large orchid blooms.  They are vigorous growers as its namesake alludes.  If you have never grown SunPatiens before they are very similar to New Guinea impatiens, yet they will grow in the hot blazing sun without tip burn to the leaves.  Their parentage is both New Guinea impatiens and a wild weed type for a combination that couples beauty and brawn.  Vigorous SunPatiens® are well branched and produce non-stop blooms until the first heavy frost.  The old blooms fall off nicely; so no deadheading needed.  Easy to grow!  Resistant to downy mildew.
