Description
The best-trailing impatiens from seed, equal in quality to those available as expensive cutting raised types. Attractive single flowers in a delightful five color mixture, blooming all summer until the first frosts in baskets or containers.
Height: 30-35cm (12-14in).
Sowing Instructions
| Sowing time: | Indoors 8-10 weeks before last frost |
|---|---|
| Sowing depth: | Sow seed on the surface of lightly firmed, moist seed sowing mix in pots or trays and cover with a fine sprinkling of vermiculit |
Place in a propagator or warm place, and keep at a constant temperature of between 20-25C (68-77F). After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the sowing mix moist but not waterlogged; germination will usually take 10-21 days.
Growing Instructions
When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into 7.5cm (3in) pots or trays. Gradually acclimatize plants to cooler conditions for a few weeks before planting out after all risk of frost, 30cm (12in) apart or plant into baskets and containers filled with a good multi-purpose compost.
Aftercare Instructions
For best results, provide a moist, well-drained soil in full sun or part shade.
