The Parrot Impatiens - and the name is spot on!! A succulent-like plant that grows almost like a bonsai plant. Unbelievable amounts of flowers, looking like little red and orange parrots, are borne amidst boldly variegated foliage, during the summer and autumn. It prefers good yet filtered sunlight. Needs frost protection. Makes a wonderful conservatory plant.
