Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This perennial Impatiens from Sichuan sounds like a bad cold with a sneeze, but the pretty lush green foliage on upright stems to 2’ form a nice colony about 3’ wide in humus rich, moist soils in a shaded part of the garden. Exotic looking pink flowers are showy late summer to fall. Seems like there should be a parrot nearby! Uncommon and choice.

A perennial species collected by plantsman Darrell Probst in Sichuan. This grows in habit somewhat like the more familiar Impatiens omeiana but has shown more restraint. Somber dusky pink-hued leaves are a perfect foil for the very nice pink flowers. The foliage and flowers are both significantly darker than the clone 'Emei Dawn' which we don't grow but look much darker comparatively via images on the internet. This will be deciduous come fall but will overwinter via underground rhizomes. Mulch well colder zones than 7b and moist soil and shade is key.
