Park Seed Impatiens Flower Seeds - Balsam Mix, 30-Pack

The Key Performance Features

True annual impatiens in Balsam Camellia Flowered Mix add summer interest, blooming until first frost in most regions. The large, camellia-like double flowers are mostly axillary and come in shades of rose, salmon, scarlet, violet, and white. Nestled among the leaves, these flowers bring a touch of the tropics to summer gardens.

Garden balsams, also known as rose balsams, in this mix are low maintenance. They have an open, erect, upright habit, with lance-shaped, serrated, light green leaves. These plants grow well in both the garden and containers. However, in warmer climates, they may self-seed, so you might want to plant in a naturalized area or remove flowers before they go to seed.

Impatiens thrive in full sun to part shade. They prefer organically rich, evenly moist, well-drained soils. They can tolerate some shade, heat, drought, and both dry and damp soil, but they should not sit in very wet or soggy conditions.

To get started, you can sow seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost date. Then, after the danger of frost has passed, transplant seedlings to your garden.
