When it comes to shade gardens, impatiens can be relied on to deliver. With bright and brilliant blooms, you can fill your borders and pots with pinks, red, whites and purples, helping to add color to even dark plots.
Impatiens tend to be used as annual bedding plants in most of the United States. They can be grown as perennials but require warm, tropical weather only found in USDA Zones 10 to 12.
