Impatiens walleriana is a tender perennial usually grown as an annual, with fleshy stems and abundant flowers.
Flowers and foliage
Part shade suits it better than intense sun, which can scorch leaves. It needs steady moisture but may rot when overwatered. Single and double garden forms occur, so flower structure matters as well as colour.
Flowers for shaded assortments
The wholesale list includes Baby mixed, Holstii mixed and F1 mixed. These separate references let retailers retain strain and F1 designations rather than combining all seed as one impatiens mixture.
