Impatiens (Impatiens Walleriana Extreme Lavender) - This Extreme Lavender Impatiens is readily grown from flower seeds, and it's such a unique and lovely shade of lavender. Impatiens flowers are known for their continuous display of color from early summer until first frost. The Impatiens plants are versatile being used in baskets, pots, window boxes and even in the front of the partial shade or shady flower bed. When grown in containers, Impatiens care includes checking the soil daily for adequate moisture. Impatiens do best with moist soil, but soggy soil will possibly lead to fungal disease, so only water when needed.
Growing Impatiens From Flower Seeds: Sow Impatiens seeds indoors 8 - 10 weeks before the last frost is expected. Use starter trays and good starter soil that has been pre-moistened with warm water. Sow flower seeds into the cells, press into soil but do not cover. Cover the trays loosely with plastic wrap to keep the moisture and heat in. Remove the wrap to mist the Impatiens seeds regularly. Place the trays in a warm place that is bright, but avoid direct sunlight. Once germination has occurred, remove the plastic wrap and grow on in a bright, south facing window. Harden the plants off for 10 - 14 days and transplant Impatiens seedlings into containers or the garden 8 - 12 inches apart after all danger of frost has passed.

Impatiens (Impatiens Walleriana Baby Carmine) - What would we do without Impatiens to add interest and color to the shady areas or our gardens? This carmine Impatiens, grown from flower seed, is probably one of the most sought after flowers in the United States. They are a tender perennial that is usually treated as an annual. This dwarf Impatiens plant has dark green, glossy, narrow 1 - 3 inch leaves on light green stems. The plants are 8 -10 inches tall and wide. The ease of germination and culture makes them a great plant to grow. They are perfect for either containers or directly in the landscape. When sowing dwarf Impatiens seeds, it takes about 10 weeks to have blooms.
Dwarf Impatiens flowers are early bloomers with a medium growing intensity. They are perfect in planters and hanging baskets. In full or partial shade gardens, Impatiens grow more colorfully than most any other flower. Impatiens are very carefree and need less water when they are grown in shade.
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 the 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.
