Impatiens (Impatiens Walleriana Xtreme Tango Mix) - A very unique flower combination of deep salmon, red, rose, scarlet and violet flowers comprise Xtreme Tango Mix impatiens! Plants are vigorous, do well in heat, and grow a compact 8 - 10 inches tall and wide. Xtreme Tango Mix grows quickly to produce copious 2 1/2 inch blooms over a very long season, in colors ideal for attracting hummingbirds to your garden. Xtreme impatiens is a perfect low-maintenance/high reward choice for beds, containers, or even hanging baskets in semi-shaded spots.
Low growing at just 8 to 10 inches high and wide, this plant has an impact far exceeding its compact size. Mounded and very well-branched, it has large 2 1/2 inch blooms all over the fresh green foliage, facing upwards and open wide for maximum showiness. Expect the first buds to open before spring is out, and the final flowers to stretch into autumn in most climates. All are very free-flowering, and need little attention from you to continue blooming for months on end.

Ideal for large packs and small pots. Uniform and well-branched plants are paired with large, flat flowers held on top of the foliage. A great alternative to Impatiens walleriana where downy mildew exists in the landscape.
Florific™ Violet New Guinea Impatiens is perfect for brightening gardens or patio containers in partial to full shade. Plants produce masses of large, uniquely violet colored flowers. Naturally branching plants quickly fill beds and are perfect for planting "en masse". With resistance to impatiens downy mildew, Florific violet is the perfect alternative for shade gardens where the disease is a concern. Don't forget about putting these beauties in hanging baskets either!
Sow New Guinea Impatiens seeds indoors, 8 - 10 weeks before the end of frost season. Use starter trays and good starter soil. Sow flower seeds into the cells, press into soil but do not cover. New Guinea Impatiens seeds need light to germinate. Keep the seed continuously moist. Transplant the Impatiens seedlings into containers or the garden 10 - 12 inches apart after all danger of frost. You may also sow Impatiens seeds directly into the soil after the threat of frost has passed. This will still give you nice flowers around mid summer and in to the fall.
