Impatiens hybrids--Impatiens


Height: 24 in Spacing: 8 in
Type: annual
Flowers: Orange, pink, purple, red, white

Comments: Impatiens are easy to grow and bloom well when
planted in shaded areas. Regular watering is an important
factor in growing good plants. Fertilize occasionally
during the growing season. Some cultivars are more
tolerant of sun than others.

Propagation: Impatiens are propagated by seed or cuttings.
Cuttings are taken before plants are exposed to cold. The
seed germinates in two to three weeks at 70 degrees. Do
not cover the seed as light is necessary for germination.
Impatiens seedlings are easily injured during
transplanting.
