I need information on the following plants, the information I need is: Sun or shade or both, spacing,and?


other information continued water requirements, container or ground, colors available.


Impatiens


Sweet Potato Vine (BLACKIE), (Marguerite)


Dusty Miller


Marigold


Pepper Golden Summer


Petunia (Blue Spread), ( Red Spread)


Tomato Beefmaster


Double Impatiens- white,red,rose on white

I need information on the following plants,?
I can can help with a couple





The pepper needs about 2ft dia growing space





The beefmaster needs about 3 ft dia growing space





I ain't a pansy man so I can't help with the rest
Reply:Impatients (my personal favorite-year 'round):


pots-3 or 4 inches apart (I put 3 in a regular size hanging basket, for instance).


ground-6 inches apart (ya don't have to be exact)


Sweet Papas (great choice):


pots-1 per bigger pot.


ground- 1 per side of porch (for instance). Potatoes will grow deeper than wide but, vine will be 20/30 feet.


Marigold- they don't like pots here. Ground-10 inches apart.


Peppers:


pots-1 per pot. You can plant a few petunias or impatients around the left over space if ya want. Choose a color that will accent the pepper plant.


ground- 20 inches (there abouts).


petunia same as impatients


tomato:


pot-1 in 5 gallon bucket or same size (deep), cage and stake when you plant.


ground- 30 inches, cage and stake, too.


double impatients more delicate than regular, same instructions.


Water everything thoroughly every time they get dryish or if you see them wilting, just give them a little drink and you can practically watch them perk back up.


Use SuperThrive 1/4 tsp per gallon water when you plant and every 6 months. You can use miracle grow every week or when ya feel like it.


All impatients prefer shade and don't mind a little sun. They don't like hot and will die when it gets hot (June, July)


sweet potato Full Sun but, they might grow into the shade when they are climbing so that's ok.


marigolds, peppers, tomato-Full Sun.


petunias like full sun AND like sun with shaddy part time.


All these flower types you have chosen come in lots of colors. It's hard to choose...I like to by 6 paks of these particular bedding plants and if ya wanna try seeds, pick up some zennias. Zennias go perfect with this combination you have chosen.


P.S. Don't forget to put wholes in the buckets for drainage. I know they are ugly but, tomatoes love them. You can paint them.
