Impatiens arguta ‘Upright’

A new form of one of our toughest, hardiest & most garden worthy Impatiens species! This form shares many characteristics of the plain species, but the flowers are a softer, powdery blue-purple in color, 2” wide & have a more bell shaped profile. The plant is also different in habit – it has less of a tendency to run, & is more upright (as the name suggests, right?) to 3’x3’. It’s still a vigorous & easy to grow plant, blooming from spring through frost, & because it goes more upwards than outwards, the blooms are easier to see! Rich soil & regular water for best show, but can also take duress – this species is known to survive in (deadly) dry shade! Gasp!
