What are impatiens?
Impatiens are a great shade garden plant that brings a bright pop of color to the darker corners of the flower bed.
When to plant
Impatiens do not like cold weather, so wait until the soil temperature reaches 60°F or more or until at least two weeks after your area's last average frost date before planting them.
Where to plant
You can enjoy season-long impatiens blossoms while they grow in the ground, in a container, or in a hanging basket.
How to plant impatiens
The easiest way to plant impatiens is to buy growing plants at a garden center. Starting from seed can take up to 10 weeks or more.
How to plant impatiens
Impatiens need moist but not soggy soil, so plant them in well-draining soil that retains moisture.
Watering the creeping myrtle
Water impatiens plants frequently. Plants in the ground need less water than those in containers or hanging baskets.
