Impatiens Magnum Pink ('Duemagpin') (Magnum Series) (NG)

balsam [Magnum Pink]

This variety is part of the 'Magnum' series of New Guinea Impatiens. A tender but strong growing bushy plant that flowers throughout the warmer summer months with large pink flowers and rich bronze-green glossy serrated edged foliage. It's an ideal bedding or patio plant to help brighten up a semi-shady spot in the garden. The plants prefer partial shade in a warm, sheltered, frost free position but will grow in sunny spots too. For a long flowering season keep the plants moist and feed regularly. Plants grow to a height of approximately 25cm and width of 30cm.
