Description
The Divine New Guinea Impatiens is a horticultural creation selected from Impatiens hawkeri, hence its Latin name: Impatiens hawkeri Divine Mixed.
Impatiens or Balsam is a perennial plant in its natural habitat (tropical and subtropical regions), but unfortunately it does not withstand our winters. From 10°C (50°F), the plant withers and dies.
Indoors, it can survive for quite a while, although its stems will gradually become weak and somewhat unsightly. To fully enjoy the New Guinea Impatiens, it is therefore recommended to treat it as an annual plant and renew it every year.
It forms a small bush that is 30cm (12in) high and 35cm (14in) wide. With its highly branched, water-filled branches, it bears light green leaves with slightly toothed lanceolate shapes.
The solitary flowers, measuring 4 to 6cm (2in), are spurred and asymmetrical in shape. The colours are numerous and vibrant.
Its abundant bright flowering constantly renews itself from June to October. A rich soil with compost and moisture, as well as a partially shaded exposure, will guarantee a beautiful flowering.
For all its qualities, Impatiens or Patience is grown in pots on the terrace, in flower boxes by the windows, or even in beds where it forms large patches of colour. Make sure it does not lack water during the growing season and consider providing it with flowering plant fertilizer to stimulate its blooming. Note: this variety is resistant to mildew.

Planting and care
Sow Impatiens from February to April in a seed tray. Use good quality soil. Scatter your seeds. Cover the seeds by sprinkling soil on top or using vermiculite, lightly press down and water generously with fine rain. Place your seed tray in a well-lit area, without direct sunlight, at a temperature of 21°C (69.8°F) to 24°C (75.2°F). Lower the temperature at night to 18°C (64.4°F) to create beneficial germination conditions.
Seed germination will take 14 to 21 days. As soon as the plants are manageable, transplant them into 7cm (3in) pots. Then, 15 days before their final placement, gradually acclimate them to a temperature of 15°C (59°F).
By the end of May or early June, the temperature will be warm enough in the garden to plant your young plants. Choose a sunny location. Add a good handful of compost to each planting hole. Space your plants 30cm (12in) apart.
Make sure they don't lack water during the growing season and remember to provide them with flowering plant fertilizer to stimulate their flowering.
Note: this variety is resistant to mildew.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
