Common Questions

Q

How can I use impatiens in my landscape?

A

Impatiens are great bedding plants, especially for shady areas. They are also great for container gardens such as hanging baskets or window boxes.

Q

Do I need to fertilize my impatiens?

A

Yes, plants flower best when regularly fertilized with water soluble fertilizer. Every couple of weeks during the growing season. Another option is a slow-release granular fertilizer used at the beginning of spring and then about ½ way through the summer. Follow product instructions.

Q

How much water do I need to use to keep my plants thriving?

A

Impatiens in the ground typically take about 2 inches of water per week (this will vary with soil and temperature). When temperatures are hot, they may need double the amount of water as normal. When used in containers they need daily watering.

Q

Can I prune leggy impatiens?

A

Yes, you can pinch it back. Pinch it back to right above the leave node on a stem. Only pinch back 1/3 of the plant at a time.

Q

Do I need to do anything with my plants at the end of the growing season.

A

Yes, to avoid disease in your garden pull up the dead plants and discard. For potted plants they can be brought indoors until warmer weather emerges.

Q

Should I deadhead my impatiens?

A

Impatiens are self-cleaning, so you do not need to remove the spent flowers.

Q

My impatiens are not blooming the leaves look great?

A

Avoid over fertilizing the plants with a high nitrogen fertilizer.

Q

Can I overwinter impatiens in the house?

A

Some other reliable shade-tolerant annuals are wax begonia, ivy geranium, and torenia.
