Exotic and unusual, 'Hare's Hybrid' is a rare species impatiens with bicolored, red and white cornucopia-shaped blooms that flower year-round in tropical climates. Clusters of 1" blossoms emerge from the thick succulent stems. In colder climates, bring it in when the weather starts to cool off in fall. It's an easy blooming plant that will attract lots of attention whether it's grown on the patio, in the garden or inside the house.
A very rare species of I. niamniamensis, courtesy of Derick Pitman, the world’s foremost supplier for us stage 3 Impatiens addicts. Growing only to around 2’ tall, with a thick, succulent, main stem, I. ‘Hare’s Hybrid’ bears its fascinating blooms almost year around in mild, frost-free climates. The bi-colored, cornucopia shaped blooms are a shiny, intense red with wonderful, curving spurs. The front portion is cream colored, flaring & hooded, centered with a cream stigma. The 1” flowers are held, many to a cluster, below the leaf axils & close to the stem. Frost tender, it can be brought inside as a houseplant in Winter. Best in a container, so you can enjoy it close up. Rich soil is best.
