This is one of my favorites Boca Joe - Mine have also been blooming for weeks and I have to stop and admire everytime I pass it. They are a nice size too.

RE: Impatiens arguta (blue flowered hardy impatiens)

I have a specimen in a pot. I had it on a west-facing deck, but found it strongly resented exposure to sun, and needed watering almost daily. On the east-facing porch, it is doing better in full shade and requires less water, and finally bloomed. However, the blooms are few and insignificant, and the plant is extremely leggy. Would it be safe to cut back all the long stems, fertilize, and start over?

Thanks and best regards, Kay
