Plant of the Week
Hybrid Impatiens, recent breeding has lead to these beautiful vibrant tropical looking impatiens being much improved in flowering ability, range of colours and length of flowering. They do need to be kept really moist as the flowers will drop as soon as they dry out and I even found that repotting was necessary so there was more root space. Beautiful plants for a morning sun, shady spot.
