All of the above images are from the Impatiens enthusiast site called Mr. Impatiens. Check it out here.<\/a> the site is run by Impatiens collector, Derick Pitman, who has collected and shared with the nurseries listed at the bottom ( and some botanic gardens) many of the Impatiens species that are the most difficult to find. With such a broad and under utilized plant family ( over 1000 species to date) the short list of dwarf hybrids available at most main-stream nurseries seed suddenly boring. Go explore with Impatiens that are really interesting!

Impatiens grandis<\/p>\n

Many of are familar with the common shade loving annual, Impatiens, but in the past decade, a number of new species have been collected and introduced, and it seems everyday, I am discovering something new about Impatiens. You may call them patient lucy’s as my mother did, but these new species and crosses are far from any vision you may have of the old classic.<\/p>\n

Most of these are tender, but are fast growers for summer containers, there are so many this year to choose from, that I still am not certain which I will try, but I know that I will order some.
