Impatiens light requirements

Hi everyone,

I apologize if the answers have been provided elsewhere but I could not find the information for all of the Impatiens species I recently purchased. Would someone take a neophyte under their wing and share their information about the requirements for light exposure, soil moisture and other soil requirements for these wonderful species?

Impatiens niamniamensis

Impatiens hians

Impatiens irvingii

Impatiens grandis

I grew I. balfourii last year, and it appears I have volunteers coming up from seeds I was not able to collect in time. I love it, I will relocate the seedlings so they are all together rather than scattered hither and yon.

I am sure that afternoon sun would kill most of these species. Is morning sun best? Will they grow well in a container? If so what size would be best? I read that I. grandis can get to 5 feet tall. My spider sense tells me that is brugmansia-size container. Thank you for helping me to understand this group.
