Do impatiens get leafminers?

Posted by gardenfanatic MO zone5 (My Page) on

Some of my impatiens leaves have strange dead looking discoloration which seems follow the veins. They're not winding around like leafminers usually do, but I don't know what it could be. Would sunburn do that? I moved them a couple weeks ago out of a spot where they were getting too much sun and they had them then. The leaves and flowers looked faded.

I have never heard of them getting leaf miners. Leaves and flowers will fade in strong light.

I know that wild impatiens (jewelweed) will get leaf miners but I have not experienced it with regular bedding impatiens or garden balsam impatiens.

Mine have leaf miners (I think). It's the first time I've ever seen it. Doesn't seem to bother them, tho.
