Is it too late?

19 years ago

My impatien bags are starting to look leggy and not so beautiful as they once were. There are still quite a few blooms, but not packed as they were earlier in the season. Is it too late to cute them back? I think there may be time for another big flush of blooms, but no one can ever be sure here in Michigan. Would you take a chance this late in the season?

Oh yes, cut them back. They don't take long to come back, couple of weeks at most.
