Professional Growing Information 
This was the first time I used these impatiens and placed them in window boxes located on the north side of my front porch. I also planted some in a container in a shade border in my backyard. It has performed beautifully in the window boxes. The plants in the backyard have not bloomed as prolifically as those in the front, but it is the middle of July, and I have not given up on it yet. I will purchase this plant again next year. I love the color and the open bloom habit compared to rose impatiens, that have a tighter bloom.
