Impatiens seeds — reliable colour for shade

Impatiens, also known as busy Lizzie, are the go-to flowers for shade — neat, mounding plants covered in flat, five-petalled blooms in every shade of pink, red, orange, violet and white, flowering tirelessly from summer to frost. Few annuals give so much colour where the sun barely reaches, making them a mainstay of our flower seed range. New to flowers? Our flower growing guide gets you started.

Non-stop colour for shady spots — the calendar shows when to sow.

The best bedding for shade

Their tolerance of shade and their tidy, self-cleaning habit make impatiens superb in pots, baskets and shady beds, sitting comfortably among our container-friendly flowers and our wider annual flowers. They knit together into a low carpet of solid colour.

Growing impatiens from seed

Sow early in warmth, from late winter to early spring, pressing the fine seed onto the surface and keeping it bright, humid and warm to germinate. Grow on frost-free and plant into part or full shade in moist, rich soil after the last frost; keep them watered for continuous bloom.

Filling shady pots and beds? Here's where to look next.

Popular flower categories: Container Flowers · Annual Flowers · Ground-Cover Flowers · Ornamental Flowers · All Flower Seeds

At SeedsChoice, every order ships from Meppel, NL with fast, tracked EU delivery.

Do impatiens grow well in shade?
Yes — impatiens (busy Lizzie) are among the best bedding plants for shade, flowering freely where many annuals struggle. When should I sow impatiens seed?
Sow early, from late winter to early spring, in warmth. Press the fine seed onto the surface and keep it bright, humid and warm to germinate. Are impatiens good for pots and baskets?
Excellent — their tidy, self-cleaning habit makes them ideal for containers, hanging baskets and shady beds. How do I keep impatiens flowering?
Plant in moist, rich soil in part or full shade and keep them well watered; they bloom continuously without needing deadheading.
