Burpee Jungle Jewels

20 years ago

I've ordered some of these as plants this year. Anyone ever tried them? The flowers are really different looking from the usual impatiens. They seem to be a different kind all together. The petals look like they stay kind of bud-like instead of opening up in the daisy-fashion.

Thanks,

Kyle

These plants can be treated like the regular bedding type. They seem to be selected forms of African Orchids a seed series that they put out a few years ago. I was told that these are different forms of Impatiens auricoma but they seem a little different than the type sold as African Queen which is close to the true species.
