| Does anyone know if the Fusion Impatiens and the Butterfly Trailing Impatiens will be available at garden centers this spring? I have been to 3 in my area and no one has heard of them! Thanks!! |

| They are supposed to be released this year. But I havent seen any in my area as well. Then again all I ever see are the bedding and NG hybrids. Fusion is released by Ball seed also known as Pan American and Butterfly is released by Goldsmith/Fisher. You may want to check with them. In the Fusion series the yellow is the best I think. In the Butterfly , out of the 5 colors I like the ones with the blush markings in the center. |

| I have only seen them at one nursery. I had hoped they would be easy to find. |

| I found them at one local nursery, grown out in their greenhouses, I think. Given how amazing they look, there's a good chance they'll be available everywhere in the next year or two. Is anyone selling seeds yet. I'd hate to be without them next year. |

| Both these hybrids are only by cuttings they dont produce seed. |

I finally found a garden center with all 6 varieties of Fusion Impatiens. $5.99 each!! But worth it I guess.
The source of the Butterfly Trailing Impatiens told me no one in the State of New York ordered them!
I also found the Jelly Bean series-mini-(an improvement of Firefly?). The Coral W/Blue Eye is unique!(Not quite blue).
Also got a double mini labled 'Starlight' Impatiens Lavender - not lavender but light salmon with 1/2" flowers - very cute!
I have been getting species from Annie's Annuals - Very exciting! also Kartuz.
With Annie's $30 minimum order plus their handling and shipping each order ends up over $60! Good plants though. |

| Which species did you get from Annies and Kartuz? |
RE: Fusion Impatiens

Hi MrImpatiens!!
Species I have gotten from Annie's:
digitata, dig. x mervensis, tinctoria, mengtziana, cicilea, glandulifera 'Yellow'
Kartuz:
keilli, 'Pink Princess', grandis 'White'&'Rose', hians, variegated niamniamensis, niam."plain", irvingii, soldenii.
also Select Seeds: zombenensis
eBay: arguta, oliverii 'Purple'
Antonelli's: Renata, Kitty Congo, King Congo, Hare's Hybrid.
at Canada Blooms: 'Velvetia'. Any idea how to propigate this? I tried cuttings, but got no roots. Air layering maybe?
Burpee: Jungle Jewels, African Orchids, Blondie.
auricoma from somewhere, 'Vision Yellow' New Guinea locally.
Just planted seeds of noli-tangere and textori from B&T World Seeds.
from Heronswood: omeiana, and an unidentified sp. with light pink flowers. Any idea what the 'blue' impatiens they are listing is? I hope it's arguta and not something I don't have!
I also plant seeds of some bedding varieties that are not avalible locally. And I have been saving 4 Seashell varieties via cuttings! Whew! |

| Where did you get your Jelly Bean series? I would love to find some of those. |

Wow seems like you are getting quite a big collection going. Its nice to see that some of the plants I have introduced are getting out there.
The "blue" one at Heronswood is different from arguta and isnt blue from what I am told. I just visited Portland and got a start of it. It is more like omieana in the fact it has underground runners but looks different in its growth habit. The flowers are pink. I would look at Cistus Nursery for more Impatiens in the future. They will be having more for sale in the coming seasons. |

| I picked up some Fusion Glow at Dreyer Farms in Cranford, NJ about $3.00 each.First time I ever seen them.I got them because they remind me of our native jewel weed. |
RE: Fusion Impatiens

| Can anyone tell me where I can find some Fusion Impatiens on Long Island? This is the first year I haven't been able to find them in a few years. I have the perfect pot for the peach colored ones and am very anxious to find them. Thanks. |
