Busy Lizzie - Pink - Impatiens walleriana - Delicate compact habit with gentle charm - Fresh Seeds

Busy Lizzie Pink (Impatiens walleriana) is a charming annual that brings freshness and a soft, romantic touch to outdoor spaces. It grows to around 20 cm tall and forms dense, well branched clumps with rich green leaves and gently toothed edges. From June to September, the plant is covered with pink flowers that brighten the setting and draw the eye. It is a great choice for window boxes, flower beds, or patio containers, creating a cheerful, flowering display.

Sowing depth

Sow the seeds very shallowly, to a depth of about 0.3 cm. If they are sown too deep, germination can be difficult, so a light covering of soil or sand is enough to provide good conditions for sprouting.

Sowing time under cover

Sow under cover from February to March. In a warm, bright place the seeds germinate quickly and evenly, producing strong young plants. These can later be transplanted into their final position for earlier and more abundant flowering.

Planting time

Plant out after 15 May, once the risk of frost has passed. Warm spring conditions help the plants establish quickly and develop into lush, flowering clumps.

Spacing

When planting, keep a spacing of 20 x 20 cm. This gives each plant room to grow, creating compact displays without overcrowding. Proper spacing also supports healthy development and long flowering.

Flowering period

Busy Lizzie Pink flowers continuously from June until the end of September. This long, vibrant flowering period is one of the main reasons it is so widely chosen for colourful displays. The pink blooms can complement other plants or take centre stage on their own.

Growing

Busy Lizzie is easy to grow if you provide fertile, moist but free draining soil. It thrives in partial shade and in positions with bright, filtered light. In sunnier spots, it needs regular watering. Sow in early spring into containers or trays in a heated room. Once seedlings appear, prick them out, then plant outdoors when the weather has settled. The plant does not tolerate cold, so planting only after frosts is essential. With basic care, it rewards you with long lasting, abundant flowering throughout summer.
