    I just purchased six 1 quart Sunpatiens, thought I would need 3 plants each for my two 12.5″ pots. I’m not sure but what one plant each pot would work. Please advise… Thanks in advance. Kat

    Hi kathleenv! Normally sunpatiens grows big so one per pot is probably enough. However if you want it to grow bushy even faster you can go ahead and plant two or three to a pot. Each plant won’t grow as big individually, but you’ll have a larger result overall for each pot. Depends if you also want to plant them elsewhere, too. It won’t kill them to grow three together in the same pot if that’s what you’re wondering.
