Description
The Interspecific Impatiens Solarscape® XL Pink Jewel produces large magenta-pink flowers with a satin-like sheen, which bloom from spring until the first frosts. Its vigour and floribundus nature work wonders for decorating borders and containers, even when exposed to sun. Robust, it shows good resistance to mildew and adapts well to heat. Provide it with rich, cool, and well-drained soil.
The Impatiens 'PAS1498989' Solarscape® XL Pink Jewel is an F1 hybrid cultivar developed by PanAmerican Seed, resulting from cross-breeding between two botanical species: Impatiens walleriana and I. hawkeri. The Solarscape® XL series comprises disease-resistant impatiens suited to both sun and shade. Grown from seed, these varieties offer a comparable quality and vigour to those propagated by cuttings. The average size of XL plants is approximately 20% larger than standard varieties: they perform excellently in all landscape designs.
With a bushy and rounded habit, the impatiens Solarscape® XL Pink Jewel reaches a height of 28 to 33 cm and a generous spread of 46 to 51 cm. Its large magenta-pink flowers measure 6 to 7 cm in diameter. Flowering begins in May-June and continues until the first frosts, depending on the sowing date. The ovate, dark green and glossy leaves measure 5 to 7 cm long. The fleshy and ramified stems from the base give the plant an attractive density. It is a tender perennial grown as an annual in our climates: it dies back completely with the onset of frosts.
The interspecific impatiens Solarscape® XL Pink Jewel is a reliable choice for creating highly colourful displays for almost 5 months. In the garden or in pots, its large magenta-pink flowers combine well with impatiens from the same series such as Solarscape® XL Lilac Spark or Solarscape® Orange Burst, to play with contrasts and tonal variations. It can also be paired with silver foliage like Helichrysum petiolare 'Silver' to accentuate the intensity of its colours. In borders or hanging baskets, it makes a wonderful companion for Lobelia 'Hot Water Blue' and calibrachoas or mini-petunias in matching or complementary colours.
Our advice: To maintain adequate coolness and preserve soil moisture, we recommend applying a mulch around the base of the plants.

Planting and care
To successfully sow Impatiens Solarscape XL Pink Jewel, begin by sowing the seeds indoors approximately 8 to 10 weeks before the last expected frost. Use a light, well-draining compost, preferably enriched with organic matter. The seeds should simply be pressed onto the soil surface, as they require light to germinate. Maintain a constant temperature of 20–24°C and ensure the growing medium remains moist but not waterlogged. Germination should occur within 14 to 21 days. Once the seedlings are sufficiently developed, transplant them into individual pots, gradually acclimatising them to outdoor conditions. Wait until all risk of frosts has completely passed before planting them in the ground or in containers, spacing them 15–20 cm apart.
Impatiens are easy to grow. They should be placed in full sun or partial shade. To accelerate their growth, bring them on in pots in a warm and bright location. Plant Impatiens in cool, well-drained soil rich in humus. Water regularly, but be cautious of overwatering. Apply a liquid fertiliser for containers once or twice a week during the growth period. Remove faded flowers and dry leaves as needed to maintain a tidy appearance and prolong flowering. Be mindful to protect them from slugs, which are fond of their young leaves. Lastly, although this variety is resistant to downy mildew, it is important to monitor for signs of disease or parasitic issues and intervene promptly if necessary.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
