Sakata announces new SunPatiens guides

MORGAN HILL, Calif. – Spring is just around the corner, and Sakata Seed America is sprouting helpful tools, tricks and information to aid and inspire landscapers throughout the country.

For nearly every challenge or opportunity, landscapers can count on Sakata’s revolutionary hybrid impatiens series, SunPatiens, with its incredible downy mildew resistance, fast fill-in and coverage, and array of colors and habits. And now, to help landscapers have even greater success, Sakata has developed a comprehensive how-to for landscapers entitled the Landscapers’ Guide to SunPatiens. The guide can be easily downloaded from the Sakata site at www.sakatavegetables.com

What’s just as exciting is the new how-to guide Sakata has developed for making beautiful SunPatiens Floating Gardens. Major theme parks, botanic gardens and locations across the United States have utilized SunPatiens in their Floating Gardens with much success. What a unique way to incorporate color into the landscape – it’s easy and low maintenance. Now, landscapers and even home gardeners can create Floating Gardens with Sakata’s easy-to-use SunPatiens Floating Garden Guide. All they need is a pool, pond or small lake, and the proper supplies. The guide can be easily downloaded from the Sakata site at www.sakatavegetables.com

Bred for beauty, resilience, and versatility, SunPatiens is the first impatiens series to thrive in full sun, as well as shade, and transition seamlessly through the seasons, from spring to early frost, while maintaining vibrant color and continuous coverage. The root of their growing popularity in the landscape can be attributed to four main characteristics:

• Full-sun to shade versatility
• Continuous, non-stop blooming from spring through fall
• Carefree, low-maintenance plants (low fertilizer requirements, self-cleaning)
• Strong insect and disease resistance (not impacted by downy mildew)
