Decided to bring these inside to extend the growing season. They are SunPatiens, an impatiens hybrid between New Guinea impatiens and wild impatiens. True to their name, SunPatiens are sun-loving plants.

SunPatiens have a long bloom period stretching from spring to fall until a heavy frost. The plants are typically larger, bushier, and bloom more prolifically than New Guinea impatiens, and their thick petals and leaves make them more resistant to disease and damage1
