Impatiens are bautiful,  this year when it was COLD & FROSTY here in North Florida, I was kind of down and I walked outside to check my plants that I had covered up to keep from the frost, as I uncovered some plants that normally the frost will kill them, I seen something Pink and I walked over to the bird bath, (which is a waterfall which flows into my pond , I seen a cluster of Pink flowers, it was a cluster of Impatiens, I am not sure how they were even alive let alone blooming.  Seeing the flowers all bloomed out when it was in the 30s here . To see those pink flowers, it was so amazing that I got over being down and I took the cluster of flowers and I planted them in a small pot & took them inside out of the cold.

My review of this plant is 5 star, I highly recommend this plant, its easy to grow, and from my experience most of the time it comes back when spring is here, I have only had 1 or 2 plants that did not come back when spring got here.
