Yes, You Can Overwinter Impatiens – And These Two Methods Make It Surprisingly Simple

Impatiens flowering in shades of red, pink, and white against dark green foliage.

Impatiens are known as bright, fun-loving bedding plants for growing in beds, containers, or hanging baskets for summer displays. They are readily available to buy, and many gardeners simply let them succumb to frost and throw them away at the end of each season.

There is another way, and we recommend that you try it. This is to overwinter impatiens indoors throughout the colder months, and bring them back outside again next year to burst into their bright blooms. It is a simple process, and you won’t need to worry about buying new plants year after year.
