The Impatiens Border Roll will surprise and delight you with a burst of color in that shady spot you thought would not perform.  Brilliant color all summer long is what this garden brings you.  It is a favorite of landscape designers and home gardeners alike.  As always, a little extra care will insure you have maximum results from your Instant Flower Garden® product.

Variety - Impatiens (Impatiens walleriana)

General Installation and Watering - Simply roll out the seeded mat on prepared loosened soil and water liberally.  See Garden Basics for more detailed instructions, soil preparation essentials, and other helpful tips.

Special Considerations – The garden roll can be cut into any shapes to suit your creative needs.  When planting under a tree, be sure to provide plenty of water throughout the growing season so both the tree and your new garden will thrive.  All Instant Flower Garden® products contain NutraGro® nutrient which will provide all the required nutrients during early stages of the growing process.  Depending on the richness of your soil, and particularly when planted under trees, additional nutrients may prove beneficial on the monthly basis throughout the growing season to obtain maximum effect.  Products such as Peters Professional® Plant Food or Miracle-Gro® are well suited for this application.

Where to Plant - Shade to partial sun.

What I Can Expect - The Instant Flower Garden Impatiens Border Roll plants will germinate in 1 - 2 weeks depending upon conditions and soil temperature.  Patience is necessary in this phase.  Cool evenings and overcast days can delay germination.  Then, after the second set of leaves unfold, some thinning may be necessary to eliminate crowding and allow for stronger mature plants.  Expect the Shade Loving Garden to grow to a height of 8 to 12 inches.
