Description:
Very popular as house plants, Impatiens are fun to grow indoors. There could not be an easier plant to grow than Impatiens when planting from flower seed. Plants are compact and will add a touch of color to your home over the winter months Impatiens is a genus of more than 1,000 species of flowering plants, widely distributed throughout the Northern Hemisphere and the tropics. Together with the genus Hydrocera, Impatiens make up the family Balsaminaceae. Common names in North America include impatiens, Jewelweed, Touch-me-not, and patience. Impatiens do well in the shady parts of your yard, make excellent indoor house plants, and are very showy in hanging baskets.
The plants have glossy, attractive leaves which you will enjoy when the plants are not in bloom. Pink Impatiens will add a soft color in any partial to full shade area. 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.
Growing Impatiens: Sow Impatiens seeds indoors, 8 - 10 weeks before the end of frost season. Use starter trays and good starter soil. Sow flower seeds into the cells, press into soil but do not cover. Impatiens seeds need light to germinate. Keep the seed continuously moist. Transplant Impatiens seedlings into containers or the garden 8 - 12 inches apart after all danger of frost. You may also sow Impatiens seeds directly into the soil after the threat of frost has passed. This will still give you nice flowers around mid summer and in to the fall.
