Impatiens for a tropical style garden
Hi all,
I currently grow several Impatiens for my tropical garden and wondered if anyone had recommendations for other species that are worth a try?
I currently grow…
- Impatiens auricoma x bicaudata
- Impatiens tinctoria
- Impatiens flanaganei
- Impatiens tuberosa

That looks great, I just have a couple in the ground this year, slow to start but they should pick up in this weather.

Love these! Do you fond Impatiens omeiana is quite slow to establish?
-
It seems to have hit the ground running for me, it went in slightly later than this last year so I brought the plant back in for the winter (and it promptly died on me) but there was obviously some root left in the ground and it has spread around a bit already. It is in a N NE aspect under shrubs in a heavy soil that water-logs in winter.

Forgot this one, new purchase enjoying a new pot before I plant it out

Very nice! Which species is this @Mark_R ? It looks a bit like Impatiens pseudoviola maybe?
-
Thank you, a very recent purchase, Kilimanjaro.

Impatiens auricoma x bicaudata doing pretty well under a musa canopy

I love this hybrid, it grows so quickly. I found that if you save seed and sow them you often get a nice variation in the seedlings 👍

hi Craig, good to know, i have 3 plants and some seeds. Will try it out.
I never heard of this hybrid untill i saw it in one of your video’s, will post some more garden pictures when everything is in bloom

Hi Craig, looks great! Impatiens niamniamensis grows like a weed in my garden. Seedlings everywhere. I have been trying to find Impatiens Bicuadata for a long time. Do you know of a source that sells them?
Thanks
Mike

Wow @Mwardlow , that’s amazing. What’s the coldest temperature you get in your garden?
-
We can get into the 30s in the winter. Last winter they bloomed all year round. Seems they hate the heat more than the cold.
