busy lizzy

Overview

The busy lizzy (Impatiens walleriana) is an easy-to-care for garden flower that blooms from spring to fall. With bright colours in shades of rose, lavender, salmon, white, and red. Its thick lush foliage grows well in shaded locations and will brighten up any corner of your garden. Buds begin to form within weeks of planting, making busy lizzy a great way to bring instant colour to a dull or dimly lit area. Often times, the blossoms can appear just weeks after planting, and will keep blooming until the frost arrives. Busy lizzies are great for adding colour to window boxes or containers, as well as for use as edges in perennial beds.
