Impatiens

This was my challenge this year--to grow impatiens from seed. I had success, as you can see in these pots on the shady deck. However, I planted lots of seeds, with only one third becoming plants. After reading about the difficulties of impatiens from seed, I knew that could be a problem, so I over-planted. And I am happy with the results. Will I do it next year? I did save money and I tried a cool variety (Accent Star Mix), so maybe I will.
