One of the nicest and easiest to grow of the hardy Impatiens. A native of woods in Nepal, its creeping soft stems bear masses of deep purple-blue flowers during the summer. Prefers a cool moist yet well drained spot for best results. Mulch in the winter to protect from the worst of the frosts. Can be grown in containers but needs winter protection. Height 15cm (6")
