Lizzie) Impatiens

2000! Picture:

Rice This new impatiens is one
of the best of its type. Many star-style busy
lizzies are too unpredictable &endash; the white
star markings vary in size and shape depending on
the weather. But this recent addition to the
outstanding Accent Series has proved to be less
affected by changes in the weather and although the
exact pattern of its markings can vary a little, it
rarely disappears altogether. The contrast between
the white star and the violet background is very
dramatic and looks especially good in dappled
shade. (Mr Fothergills Seeds) ©copyright
