Impatiens, Tropical Beauties




The impatiens flowers commonly sold at nurseries in North America are hybrids and are treated as annual plants. They are native to tropical Africa and easily damaged by frosts. In Africa, they are perennials and bloom all year long.


These vibrant-colored flowers thrive in warm, shady environments, and are excellent as borders along the lawn. During peak summer months, they can double and triple in size and cover a considerable area.



I love these flowers in baskets, and I found this one at Flower World in Snohomish last weekend.
