Impatiens 'Kilimanjaro'
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. The Kilimanjaro Impatiens are a cool-climate species that may not thrive in hot areas. It has an orchid-like hood in pinkish-red, blending into a curved, yellow tail. Inside the hood are a series of yellow and red markings. This is a perennial species that grows to about 50cm tall and 60cm wide.
