This Red Impatiens has extremely uniform growth with high yields of lovely 2-inch orange blooms on rich, green foliage.
This Impatiens plant is perfect for that shady flower bed or for baskets and pots on a shady patio. Impatiens bloom in late spring and flower freely right up until frost.
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.
