Impatiens Midnight Blend
Impatiens wallerana
Annual. Six luscious jewel tones: rich ruby red, burgundy wine, raspberry orchid, grape lilac, cherry candy red, and a vibrant hot pink. Each plant is a long-blooming powerhouse of color, forming a 12" tall and wide mound that blooms exuberantly until frost. Grow as single beacons of color, massed along borders, or in containers to move around as you please. Can also be grown indoors in a bright location.
