Covers Ground Beautifully with Rosebud Blooms
Impatiens 'Red Flash'
Longer to bloom and quicker to spread than other fancy-flowered Impatiens.
Bright bicolor blooms of red and white are distinctive and attention-getting!
Simply the best fancy-flowered Impatiens we have ever grown, 'Athena' covers the shade garden or container quickly and beautifully! This low-growing, compact Impatiens is a better spreader and bigger bloomer than others. And now it is available in separate colors in addition to the mix!
The flowers have a rosebud shape, very elegant in bud as well as bloom, and open to bicolor blooms of red and white. They begin a bit earlier than most other Impatiens, fully flowering by the time summer starts, and prepared to continue well into autumn. Semi-double and very long-lasting, they are truly beautiful!
The habit of this low-growing, compact plant is attractive too. The leaves are dark green and very lush, and the plant spreads vigorously, scrambling across bare soil fast to show off even more blooms. Every garden needs a hardworking ground cover for shade, and 'Athena Red Flash' should be your first choice! Expect it to reach just 8 to 10 inches high, but to spread 18 to 24 inches wide. Pkt is 20 seeds.
