Busy Lizzie Baby Mix Seeds

Busy Lizzie Baby Mix is part of the Baby Series of dwarf impatiens, bred for compact growth, nonstop flowering, and vibrant colour range. Plants form neat mounds covered in large, flat blooms that shine even in shaded corners of the garden.

 

This mix is especially valued for its versatility: it performs equally well in containers, window boxes, hanging baskets, or massed bedding displays.

 

The flowers appear continuously from early summer until the first frosts, providing long lasting colour with minimal care.

Sowing Instructions

Grow and Maintenance

 

Busy Lizzies prefer moist, fertile soils and shaded or semi shaded positions. Water regularly in dry weather and feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 2–3 weeks. Deadheading is not required, as plants are self?cleaning. Protect from downy mildew by ensuring good air circulation and avoiding overhead watering.
