No buds or flowers yet.  Plants look healthy  but one review said it takes time to get flowering.

I think i will pass these up next year-it's going on July! My Roberta's are fourishing but also a bit different than normal-huge blossoms but fewer...

For years, ever since Philip Watson came to QVC offering the Pink Lightning (variegated leaves) Sunpatiens, I would order them...lots of them. Granted it took time for them to get established before they took off and blossomed. However, two years ago when it took too long for QVC to show the variegated leaves Sunpatiens I decided to go to a local garden center to look for them. To my surprise not only did the garden center have them for sale but they were doubled in size in four inch pots. Having the flowers in larger containers and well established makes a huge difference in seeing blooms sooner in a healthier plant. That said, I no longer purchase Sunpatiens from QVC since they only offer them in the two inch size pots. I also found that buying locally is less expensive than from a shopping channel.

Another option for larger size Sunpatiens is to shop for them at the big box stores. I saw them on their website with free delivery. 

I hope my experience helps with your future purchases.
