Professional Growing Information This plant is a prolific bloomer and very pretty in the container. I didn’t give it 5 stars because it is quite messy when the blooms die - a lot of petals everywhere. Also, if the spent blooms fall on the leaves, the turn brown and stick to the leaves, which necessitates removing them by hand. I think if I tried them again, I would forgo the container and try them in the landscape. That said, if the downsides don’t bother you, it is a beautiful plant and a great bloomer.

They shouldn't need to be trimmed back, but can be pruned to shape them at any time.

I really liked this double impatiens. I planted it in the garden in a shady spot. It bloomed well all summer. I combined it with the white double impatiens. They looked so pretty together.
