This 'Electric Orange' SunPatiens plant came in a small pot, but was very healthy. The packaging was excellent! After 'hardening' the plant for a week, I planted it. I have heavy clay soil, but I didn't pamper this plant at all. I just dug out a hole slightly bigger than the pot, threw some potting soil in the bottom of the hole, dropped in the plant and filled in the remaining gap with some more potting soil. After an initial watering, I've only watered it when it starts wilting. Within an hour, it looks beautiful again. It's now about 1.5 feet wide. It has 'normal' colored green leaves and is covered in orange flowers (as a comparison, the 'Compact Orange' SunPatiens plant has DARK green leaves and fewer of the same-colored flowers). No problems with disease or pest. Nice Plant!
