Disappointed with New Guineas

I LOVE the New Guinea impatiens! They're gorgeous - when they're at the nursery. But when they're at my house, they don't bloom very much. My sister has had the same problem.

I grow regular impatiens too, and they bloom like gangbusters in the same area with the same amount of fertilizer. The porch where I have them gets 2-3 hours of sun around noontime. What's the problem with the New Guineas?

If your 'regular' impatiens are blooming like gangbusters there you could stay with them in that area. I think New Guineas like a little additional sun - ?? So may be try a sunnier location for THEM to bloom like gangbusters??
