Impatiens Species

I absolutely adore this plant, so much so that when I moved from CA to Florida I brought some rooted cuttings with me. Be warned: this is...Read More indeed a plant for cool climates and although it thrived during the winter of its new locale, all my plants shriveled up and died by June.

Impatiens mengtzseana IS somewhat hardy to cold and my mother plant in Sonoma County CA has never suffered frost dieback, even down to the low 20s °F. With daily water, a large enough pot, and enough shade, this really is a magnificent and wonderful addition to any garden - if it receives the daily cool-off that it needs.
