Impatiens
It's also good for those hard to plant shady areas under trees and bushes. The bright green leaves are small and neat, and the flowers are a wonderful contrast to them. This plant will bloom all summer with little attention needed. (we like that ) It is an annual plant and will not survive the Zone 5 winter , but can sometimes be brought indoors over the winter. ( I have not had luck bringing these indoors- but others have.) They can get leggy - but try to cut back to produce a more compact plant
Color White,pink, orange, red, purple Blooming Period Summer until the first frost
Height Mature height from 6" to 18 "
Uses
Care Likes moist soil. Mulching will keep the roots moist. They do well when fertilized. Don't need much dead heading-the small flowers will dry and blow away on their own. Cut back when the plant gets leggy to encourage a bushier,fuller plant. From Impatiens back to Annuals
