Pink Impatiens will add a soft color in any partial to full shade area. Very popular as house plants, Impatiens are fun to grow indoors. There could not be an easier plant to grow than Impatiens when planting from flower seed.
Plants are compact and will add a touch of color to your home over the winter months. Impatiens flower care includes regular watering. The more sun the Impatiens plant receives, the more water it will require. Also, apply an all-purpose liquid fertilizer every 2 - 3 weeks during the growing season.

I do not have an indoor garden so I am waiting until spring to plant. I will try planting closer to Feb or March in small pods watering with spray bottle, and slowly introduce the plants to outdoor conditions.
