We have had good success using this as a bedding plant in a damp bed with partial sun in Columbus (5b). In previous summers, Impatiens would rot from the dampness and diminished late summer sun in this bed. Seems to be disease and pest resistant. Bloomed until frost with minimal sun. Highly recommended.
