A delightful range of colors in this hybrid impatiens mix. I got pure white, palest pink, true pink, salmon, orange, light orange, and this gorgeous red (picture does not do it justice). The blooms are large, some are more doubled than others. I did not get any singles or bicolors. The red makes the biggest and most double flowers and it needs deadheaded if you are really picky about it looking totally fresh...the other colors seem to be self-cleaning. Mine are nearly 24 inches tall and receive some direct sun in the middle of the day. I would highly recommend this selection to others.
