Impatiens tuberosa is a rare gem native to the lush tropical forests of Madagascar. This captivating plant is prized for its striking pink flowers, which boast delicate, exotic shapes that stand out against lush, green foliage.
Unlike many of its relatives, Impatiens tuberosa exhibits a freely branching habit, creating a full and bushy appearance. Producing an abundance of flowers throughout the summer and autumn months, it prefers partial shade, but can handle more direct sunlight than typical Impatiens species. Needs well-drained rich soil with regular watering. An excellent choice for adding a tropical flair. Great for containers, perfect for patios or balconies. For those lacking outdoor space, Impatiens tuberosa can even be grown as a colourful houseplant when provided with bright, indirect light.
A rewarding addition to your collection. Its eye-catching pink blooms, ease of care, and unique origins make it a conversation piece in any garden or indoor space. By cultivating this rare beauty, plant enthusiasts can bring a touch of Madagascan magic into their own environments, enjoying its exotic allure throughout the warm months of the year. Protect from frost.
