Description
Impatiens is a beautiful annual that makes an excellent house or garden plant. Perhaps it's bilateral symmetry contributed to making this plant globally popular but it's also an easy-to-grow, pretty little garden flower available in a wide range of colors and growing tolerances.
Impatiens have many common names including: Busy Lizzie, Jewelweed, Snapweed, Touch-Me-Not, Jumping Betty, Lady's Slipper and Patience. The botanical name, Impatiens, describes the way its seeds shoot out of its pods when ripe (the slightest touch can make a ripe impatiens seed pod burst open and scatter its seeds).
