into making my yard look good, a lazy gardener, learning as I go

May is the perfect month to head to the nursery or home improvement stores for summer annuals to plant in my shady front border.  As I pull up to the store's entrance, the sheer volume of colors, textures, and blooms of these plants never fails to excite me.  Unfortunately, the most colorful plants that I ooh and aah over are meant to be planted in sunny areas.  Flower choices for shady areas are very limited, but there is one reliable plant that I turn to each year - Impatiens.

Impatiens come in a variety of colors from pure white to pink, coral, orange, red, and purple.   The downside is...

looking for durability, impressed with this product, value conscious

If you are looking for a flower that will grow well in the shade I would go with Impatiens.  They are very hardy and come in a wonderful selections of colors. Reds, pinks, white, salmons, oranges and purples. They bloom from spring till fall.  If you love the look of Impatiens, but have more sun, look for the variegated leaves that do wonderful in sun. They also have "double flowered" Impatiensthat look like mini roses. (I love my doubled blooms). (Again if they don't have a variegated leaf then they shouldn't be in full sun).  All grow about 8-20 inches high and you should space them...

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...

Every year my first pick is impatients. They are so colorful and easy to grow. You don't have to dead head the old flowers and they just keep blooming. I love the way they fill in space in a flower bed or how they overflow in hanging baskets Iven if you forget to water, and they are drooping they usually come back pretty fast. The only negative, is that one frost and forget it, they become mushy and will not recover. So don't plant too early and if you want them to last longer in the fall, cover or bring them in if there is an early frost.

I plant these flowers every spring.  They are great because they're very easy to grow, and they don't require a lot of sun.  I plant them in a partly shaded area, water them a few times a week, and buy fall you wouldn't believe how much they've grown!  They multiple fairly quickly, and then they start growing taller.  The entire flower bed is full and vibrant with color after just a few months, but by fall they've blossomed into full maturity and are just gorgeous.  They die when the weather turns cold, and the I just replant them the next year.

They come in several colors.  Pinks, purple,...

Hello,
I am Dessarose. I am a beginner at gardening. I have just moved from a large, busy city to the quiet, slow running country town. One of my two requirements of coming to the country was to have a beautiful garden. But, I have some draw backs to starting a garden is helpers and other problem, of which you may guess as I go along.
Now to one of the best flowers I have planted this year, thus far is the Impatiens. I got a crate of the flowers, mostly in the pinks and purples. I know now I did not buy enough to make my bed look awesome, so next year it will be fuller and more flowers everywhere....

       Ihave planted impatiens for years in shady areas around the house, including the north side of the garage and under the overhang in front of the house.  They provide great color and with a little fertilizer (like Miracle Grow) have provided mounds of color.  The ones in front of the house get very little rain, so usually have to be watered every other day.  The ones on the north side of the garage will get by with watering about once a week.  They are sensitive to frost in the fall, but next to the house they are usually protected. 

     For the craft lovers, Impatien blossoms...

I am not a great gardner by any means but impatiens are an easy flower to plant and maintain which adds beautiful color to your yard.  My favorite color is a tangerine colored flower which is a mix of pink and orange and also gets alot of compliments.  My mom planted them for years and now I follow in her footsteps.  Adding a little miracle grow ensures a larger flower and taller plant overall.  Since I have several trees in my yard it really works for me with all the shade I have.  Impatiens also work in sunny areas as well as was the case in my parent's yard.  I would highly recommend...

I love to plant impatiens bedding plants in containers.  Three or four plants will grow and fill a moderately large pot.  This past year, I planted one in with some hanging basket begonias, and when the weather got colder, I brought it into the house.  It's still growing and blooming now in March.  It is now spreading out to about a foot in diameter.  I didn't realize until reading the other reviews that impatiens prefer shade.  I've grown them on my porch where they get quite a lot of sun for several years.  So I guess they're pretty flexible.  Enjoy them!

My husband has been planting impatiens every summer for the last 4 years.  He didn't listen when I told him they had to be planted in shady areas and proceeded to plant many of them in full sun.  He waters them daily and fertilizes them, and they thrive, spreading and blooming all summer long.  We get many complements on them.

Impatiens are great because they are easy to grow, come in a wide variety of colors, and will bloom all summer.

I purchase impatients in the 4" containers.  I put 5 containers in one box under our window.  Put holes in the bottom of the window box, add mircle grow soil.  Put in the impatients and leave them along.  I have to pull them out in November they are still hardy.

We grow Impatiens every year.  They flourish on our deck.  Especially like the New Guinea Impatiens.  Their flower is beautiful.  Even if they get a bit dry, after watering they stand up tall.

I love Impatiens, they are inexpensive and can be very vibrant flowers.  They thrive pretty much wherever I put them and bloom wonderfully.  Not much care is needed for these flowers.
