Impatiens - (Busy Lizzie*, Balsam)
*We didn't know that one of the common names of Impatiens was 'Busy Lizzie' either until researching for this web page!

Impatiens provides brilliant color in the shade where few other flowers thrive. Unlike with most flowers, you never need to trim off spent blooms to tidy up the plant and promote longer flowering. As long as you give them plenty of water, impatiens will bloom magnificently from spring until frost.

Common Name:  Impatiens  'Accent Series'
Botanical Name : Impatiens walleriana    

The 'Accent' series of impatiens are an impressive group. They are uniform across the whole series with the growth habit being very compact and  height varying little from color to color. The flowers are large and they cover the dark green foliage with ease.  'Accent' Impatiens have a very long flowering period, from spring until the early frosts. This is wonderful for a bedding plant to give so much color for such a long time. Plant in a shaded spot, as opposed to full sun. They will grow in the sun but the flowers will be smaller. This variety does not need to be pinched as it has a naturally branching habit.

Common Name: Impatiens  'Super Elfin Series'
Botanical Name : Impatiens walleriana 

The ‘Super Elfin’ varieties of Impatiens are the one of the earliest flowering and very consistent across the color range. Better branching and improved "flower power". The 8 to 10-in. plants are covered with masses of blooms, creating outstanding displays in your garden or containers. This group of Impatiens was bred by Claude Hope in Costa Rica.  Mr. Hope developed this species from its native wild form.  'Super Elfin' is probably the most recognized species of Impatiens  and one of the most popular bedding plants in the world.
