Companion Plants for SunPatiensVIVA! SunPatiens


We recommend other sun-loving annuals and perennials for SunPatiens™ companions:



Coleus – Use sun-loving series such as Stained Glassworks, Kong, or Giant Exhibition. These tall plants will finish about the same height, possibly slightly taller than SunPatiens.

Daylilies – Hemerocallis – We like the multi blooming types such as Stella d’Oro, and these shorter types may be planted in front of SunPatiens or off to the side. For a nice effect, use the taller types behind SunPatiens. The flower stems will bloom over the top of the SunPatiens, and the drying foliage will remain hidden.

Magenta SunPatiensHelichrysum – Silver Licorice and other silver foliage creepers look good with SunPatiens in patio containers or as a foreground plant in landscape

Lobelia – Dark blue Lobelia may be planted in front of SunPatiens. Look for long bloomers such as Rivera or the new Arcade series, which does well in the heat

Petunias – Either Wave petunias as a creeping foreground plant or the more mounded, multi-flora types for sides or foreground.

Pentas – This full sun and high heat loving annual will work well. Rose colored flowers should be planted in front or beside SunPatiens.

Portulaca – This blooming, succulent-like annual will take full sun and heat and will form a carpet in the front of SunPatiens™. We like Yubi-Summer Joy as a series with strong colors.White SunPatiens

Salvia – Annual red flowered, Salvia, works well in front of SunPatiens . Use taller, perennial types off to the side. Blue colored, Victoria Blue Salvia will be a nice contrast.

Geraniums – Plant mass geraniums in garden beds with SunPatiens; both love the sun. 

Verbena – All Vebrbena will do well. Our favorites include the Patio Temari series, the new Magalena series, and the time tested Homestead Purple.  All should be used in the front as foreground plants.
