Recommended in a high place
Impatiens is the queen of the shade! While most flowering plants need sun, Impatiens actually thrives in shady spots in the garden or on the balcony. Colorful flowers in shades of pink, red, white, orange, and purple cover the plant all summer long. The English name "Impatiens" comes from the word "impatient" - because the seed capsules explode when touched! An easy-to-grow plant that brings color to shady corners.

Professional tip
Impatiens do not tolerate dryness! As soon as the leaves start to wilt - water immediately. They recover quickly, but repeated dryness will weaken them. Tip: Add a layer of mulch (wood bark) around the base to retain moisture in the soil. New Guinea Impatiens varieties are more sun-tolerant and can even tolerate morning sun!
