Impatiens Balsam 'Camellia Flowered'
Impatiens is a beautiful annual that provides colourful flowers to enliven beds, borders, window boxes and tubs throughout summer and into early autumn. Impatiens like shade and moisture. If wilted, they quickly recover back into shape after watering. 'Balsamina' is an old-fashioned variety sporting camellia-shaped flowers of pink, red, salmon, purple and white. Camellia-flowered balsam is colorful and easy to grow.
