Balsam Camellia Mix is an old-fashioned plant that has been grown in American gardens for over a century. It is a branching annual and grows 18 to 30 inches tall. Balsam has single and double flowers that are mostly axillary, in rose, salmon, white, scarlet and violet. It grows in full to part sun, with moderate to moist conditions in rich and well-drained soils. It is effectively used in beds and borders as well as containers. Attracts bumble bees. 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.
