NEW & RARE Impatiens from China… A sprawling, creeping plant with fairly large, soft yellow ‘bonnet like’ blooms with ripe peach overtones. Bonnet interiors are intricately painted with orange and red veining. 4-8” tall and eventually about 3’ wide (guessing). Typical impatiens culture, bright shade…rich, moist soil. Thank you Derick Pitman, for introducing this plant! Z7

Creeping in habit and fond of very wet soil (although not a prerequisite) this species grows 8" tall x 36" wide with peachy open flowers.

I wish I had a dress the color of these bewitching flowers! Flaring, soft golden yellow, 2” orchid-like blooms blushed with peach contrast beautifully with red stems & deep green glossy foliage. An abundant Fall bloomer (October through December), it spreads from the roots, creating an attractive, ground-hugging mass, 15” tall and 3’ across. Excellent for trailing over the edge of a shady bed, container or hanging basket. Rich soil is best. Hardy to USDA zone 8! From China & brought to us by “Mr. Impatiens,” this extremely rare species is a treat for those of us beguiled by Balsams.
