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...
