Well, I thought I'd have a beautiful border of impatiens along my walkway on the side of my house, and they were filling in nicely, and most still are, except the white ones. So strange.

I have a three-color planting of impaitens of purple, light pink and white. I probably put in close to 50 plants. They are almost completely now filled in and lush, having been planted in late May, and suddenly some of them are not doing well, but what's bizarre is it's only the white ones. Well, they're not exactly dying, but they are getting really leggy, losing their leaves, and not having any flowers. It's the strangest thing. Not every white plant, but about a third of them, about six or seven of them. And they're not plants that are right next to each other, so one white one can be affected but not one that is right next to it, but skipped over a couple of white ones and then there's another white one, dotted here and there, only white plants, once lush and large, now with puny leaves and almost no flowers. Not a single affected purple or pink one, only white. They were lush and full just two weeks ago, now they look horrible.

What is happening, and why is it only happening to the white ones? Any ideas?
