description for "Impatiens: Impatiens walleriana x Super Elfin Series 'Rose'"
Perhaps the best known and most widely planted series of impatiens. Consistently the earliest to bloom with the broadest color range, the compact 8 to 10 inch plants always perform beautifully. Now including the popular 'Swirls,' the first true picotee impatiens with petals edged with deeper tones creating a lively swirled pattern. Also known as balsam or sultana. Carefree impatiens have become America's #1 annual for outdoor decorating. Their profusion of bloom, bright sparkling colors, continuous flowering and easy care make them perfect for any shady or semi-shady location whether it be in mass plantings, hanging baskets or containers. Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks prior to last frost.
