Violet Impatiens

Bright blue violet, paper-thin petals create a continuously blooming, colorful blanket over green leaves and thick stems. This variety grows very full and bushy, and is pest-resistant! While the scentless flowers are edible, they don’t have much flavor, so they’re better enjoyed for their visual beauty.

Care and Harvest

Check the roots monthly and trim any that are brown or extending past the yPod.  Cut back stems’ height by ⅔ as needed to control the plant’s size, if desired. To encourage new flower bud development, remove dead flower heads (also called deadheading). Snip any yellow or brown leaves if they appear, but as always, leave one third of the plant behind to continue growing so you can enjoy multiple waves of blooms.
Taste and Use

Best enjoyed for their visual beauty, Blue Violet Impatiens are easy to prune or transplant outside if you decide they’re growing too large for your indoor liking.
Origin

Native to East Africa, these flowers are known by many names, including impatiens (sometimes pronounced like “impatients”), “busy Lizzie”, balsam, and sultana. Their Latin family name, Impatiens, refers to the seed pods’ fast burst when ripe, which helps distribute the seeds in nature (don’t worry, this won’t affect your Gardyn). Impatiens are one of the most popular flowers worldwide due to their fast growth and ability to thrive in shady conditions.
