Maintenance Notes:
Self-cleaning; no deadheading necessary. Infinity will do well in the ground or in containers. While New Guinea Impatiens are often sold in hanging baskets they need a lot of water to do well and it may be difficult to maintain appropriate moisture levels during the heat of the summer. They will be easier to keep hydrated in large pots or in the ground. They will do best in shady locations but have been shown to do fine in the hot sun as long as they are well watered. If the plants do get dry and are wilted, even if they are severely wilted, water them immediately and they should bounce back within several hours. They are generally easy to care for with little to no maintenance, other than watering, necessary. If you do want to trim them to improve their habit this can be done at any time using a sharp pair of scissors or pruning shears.
