Professional Growing Information Horrible. Within days they started wilting despite good soil conditions. Bought 4 more to replace them and realized there were practically no root systems to any of the plants. Now the others from the original 8 are also starting to wilt. After buying 12 of these plants, I'll likely have to take them all out and replace with regular impatiens. I have 2 tickets with Proven Winners and no response in over a week.

Wonderful salmon color. One of my favorite Impatiens. Thrives in shade as long as it is kept moist. Love it!

I was able to over-winter this plant once. But, I lost it last fall. I didn't it remove from the garden soon enough last fall. This is just a spectacular plant. I have been looking for it this year.
