- Impatiens are a great way to add a real pop of colour to your garden. The bright flowers are bold and eye-catching, and they really stand out against the deep green leaves, giving a warm, vibrant feel to any space.
- They’re perfect for pots, containers, borders or patio displays, and they’re especially useful for those spots that don’t get full sun. If you’ve got an area that’s a bit more shaded, these will still do really well and keep things looking bright.
- Once they settle in, they’ll keep flowering right through the summer, so you get plenty of colour without needing to do much. They’re easy to grow and a good choice if you want something that looks impressive but doesn’t take a lot of effort.
- Supplied as young plants, they’re ready to pot on or plant out and will quickly grow into a full, colourful display.
