Impatiens are easy to grow and bloom well in shade. Regular watering is an important factor in growing good plants. Fertilize occasionally during the growing season.
Some varieties are more tolerant of sun.
The plants grow to a height of from 6 to 18 inches. Impatiens are propagated by seed or cuttings. Cuttings are taken before plants are exposed to cold. The seed germinates in two to three weeks at 70 degrees. Do not cover the seed as light is necessary for germination.
