Half-hardy Annual. The New Guinea Hybrid strain of Impatiens is one of the most rewarding plants available for the shady garden. Leaves have a bolder look than that of regular Impatiens and come in a variety of colors, from a vivid variegated leaf to a deep bronze and green leaf. Flowers are large and come in a mixed palette of lush, rich colors - pinks, reds, oranges, whites. In tropical climates, this plant will not tolerate full sun. Requires rich soil that is moist, yet well-drained. Try rooting some stem cuttings for easy propagation. Seed propagation is quite challenging.
