Poor Man’s Rhododendron

Impatiens sodenii Flash

Impatiens

From a genus comprised of hundreds of species, the following easily grown shade lovers offer both foliar and floral interest. Impatiens omeiana is surprisingly hardy, and Impatiens ‘Flash’ is quite tender; they both look compelling in either a pot or a garden bed.

Impatiens sodenii ‘Flash’ partial shade

Impatiens aficionado, Derick Pitman developed this new, easygoing enchantress. Brushed with pink painterly strokes radiating from each center, shapely, 3 in. snow-white blooms are poised above polished green leaves. A perennial in warm climates, an annual in cold areas and a made-in-heaven match for a container, self-sowing ‘Flash’ can be shown off in bright shade where its multibranched, semisucculent stems are quick to fill out.

Blooms May – October.

Size: 4'–5' high x 3' wide; hardy to zone 10.
