Impatiens hybrid Family: Balsamaceae Common Name(s): Grown by: David Feix, Berkeley This is another impatiens that is perennial outdoors in coastal California. It has Impatiens sodenii (the common hardy shrub) in its breeding history and so has some of that species’ hardiness. The specimen shown had clear fuchsia-magenta flowers on a sturdy attractive plant. It is becoming common in Southern California, but it is just becoming available to Bay Area gardeners.
