A wonderful old-fashioned favorite for the flower garden. Grown from Balsam seeds, this favorite will continuously bloom from early summer right up until the first frost of fall. The stems are loaded with a mix of colors: rose, salmon, white, scarlet, and violet. These Impatiens Balsamina flowers are formed on clean, almost transparent stems with just the right amount of foliage to make a very attractive addition to any flower garden. Balsam is one of the few flowers, planted from flower seeds, that can do well in sun or shade as long as it has plenty of moisture. Balsam is a liberal self-slower. After one growing season, it generally reappears from self-sown flower seeds.
