Impatiens are the queens of the shade! While most flowering plants require sun, Impatiens thrive in the shady spots of your garden or balcony. Colorful flowers in shades of pink, red, white, orange, and purple cover the plant throughout the summer. 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.

Impatiens do not forgive dryness! As soon as the leaves start to wilt, water immediately. It recovers quickly, but repeated drought will weaken it. Tip: Add a layer of mulch (bark) around the base to retain soil moisture. New Guinea Impatiens varieties are more sun-tolerant and can handle some morning sun!
