Lavender Impatiens 100 Seeds Impatiens walleriana

Impatiens walleriana ‘Lavender’ is a perennial widely grown as an annual ornamental plant, grown for its profusion of soft lavender-colored blooms that bring continuous color to shaded and partially shaded garden spaces. Native to the tropical regions of East Africa, Impatiens walleriana is a member of the Balsaminaceae family and has become one of the most popular bedding and container plants worldwide. The ‘Lavender’ cultivar features delicate, five-petaled flowers that bloom abundantly from spring until the first frost, set against lush, succulent green foliage that forms a dense, mounding habit typically reaching 8 to 12 inches in height. This variety thrives in moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil and prefers environments with consistent moisture and protection from direct, harsh sunlight, which can cause leaf scorching. Its name, Impatiens, refers to the plant’s explosive seed pods that burst open when touched, dispersing seeds forcefully—a distinctive trait of the genus. The lavender hue of its flowers lends a soothing, cool tone to garden borders, hanging baskets, and window boxes, harmonizing beautifully with white, pink, and darker purple companions. Highly valued for its ease of cultivation, continuous bloom cycle, and ability to brighten shaded areas, Impatiens walleriana ‘Lavender’ remains a timeless favorite among gardeners seeking graceful color and texture in both landscapes and decorative containers.
