Impatiens Balsam Mix represents a classic heirloom flower with deep historical roots, cultivated in gardens for generations and known by the evocative common names "Lady Slipper" and "Touch-Me-Not"—the latter referring to its distinctive seed pods that explosively dehisce when mature, delighting gardeners and children alike. This traditional variety produces abundant, ornamental blooms in a mixed palette of colors, adding nostalgic charm and botanical interest to garden beds and borders. Unlike many impatiens species that prefer shade, Balsam is a sun-lover that thrives in bright conditions, though it benefits from afternoon shade protection in regions with intense summer heat, where dappled light or east-facing exposures optimize growth and flowering. The plants develop sturdy, upright growth habits that require minimal staking or support, making them relatively low-maintenance additions to mixed plantings. Balsam impatiens perform well in consistently moist, fertile soil and reward regular feeding with prolific blooming throughout the season. Blooms appear in approximately 70 days from seed, allowing gardeners to enjoy flowers within a single growing season. This 50-seed packet contains non-GMO, heirloom genetics selected for vigor and authentic character. Our seeds are sustainably produced, and our packaging is fully recyclable and climate-friendly, reflecting a commitment to responsible gardening stewardship.
