Known for their nonstop blooms and ability to thrive in full to partial shade, Impatiens are a go-to plant for bringing color to low-light garden areas. They produce small, flat-faced flowers in vivid shades of red, pink, white, orange, and purple, nestled above soft, green foliage. With a mounding, spreading habit, Impatiens are ideal for garden borders, containers, and hanging baskets. They require consistent moisture and rich, well-drained soil for best performance, and they pair beautifully with ferns, caladiums, and hostas in shady beds.
