| Cultivation:
Pronounced im pay' shenz. 'Fanciful Tropical Mix" is a
bit taller than the "Dazzler" series of Impatiens. Their
flowers are multi-petalled and frilly. An excellent choice for
beds, containers or hanging baskets.
Impatiens do not perform well in full hot sun. Ideally they
should be grown in partial shade to nearly full shade with early morning or late day
sun. Plant in fertile well drained soil in either beds or in
containers. Space plants 8" - 10" apart. Protect from high winds and early season frosts. Feed
Impatiens every two weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Impatiens can be moved
indoors at the end of the growing season to a sun room or sunny
window and kept as a flowering house plant.
Available colors: Coral,
Orchid Rose, Red, Salmon, and Tropical Mix.
Potential pests ~ diseases: Aphids, spider mites or
whiteflies.
