Easy to grow & perfect for garden beds and containers, Impatiens walleriana, commonly known as Busy Lizzie, Balsam, or simply Impatiens, is one of the world’s most popular shade-loving flowering plants. It is grown globally for its prolific, vibrant blooms that last from late spring until the first autumn frost.

| Sowing depth | 1/8” |
| Spacing | 8-12″ apart |
| Germination | Approximately 10 days |
| Soil | Impatiens like soil to be loose and airy to allow delicate roots to breathe. Heavy clay should be amended before planting. Preferred pH 6.0-6.5 |

Non-neonic (neonicotinoid-free) seeds are agricultural or garden seeds that are not coated with nicotine-derived systemic insecticides. Meaning they do not contain chemicals that poison pollen, nectar, water, and soil, which otherwise harm bees, butterflies, birds, aquatic invertebrates and other beneficial insects. (Sometimes remaining in the soil & water for months or even years.)
