Impatiens are not, as widely supposed, named
for their fast growth (although they are one of the
easiest garden plants to maintain) but more for the
plant's seed pods which, when touched, may suddenly
"explode" to disperse its seed in all directions.
Also called "Touch Me Not" or "Buzzy Lizzy" impatiens
are second only to the petunia for ease of growth whether
in backyard gardens, windowboxes, containers, pots or in hanging baskets.
You can choose from among wide variety of colors for
spring planting - including white, pink, red, orange, purple, lilac, and rose
Impatiens walleriana, and Impatiens balsamina are
currently the only two varieties widely available among some 1,000 species of impatiens known....
