impatien problem

drkate1
19 years ago

Well, I'm glad to see I'm not alone with my problem. I'm thinking that the problem must be overwatering or poor drainage my impatiens just are barely hanging on. I can't figure out why in some flower boxes they are doing great and in others, same type of box but just a few feet away they are dying. Anyway, any suggestions on how to improve the drainage in a cedar window box?
