A massive Impatiens whose lush tropical-like leaves adorn branches up to 2m tall. Pale pink 'Busy-Lizzie-like' flowers are borne continuously, (although not in huge numbers) throughout the summer and autumn months. Prefers a semi shaded slightly cool spot. Sometimes comes through the winter if mild, but as a precaution take cuttings (easy) and overwinter. Bury the tuber-like roots 15-20cm deep and they will often sprout in the spring.
