New Guinea impatiens (Impatiens hawkeri) is a fairly new type of impatiens that offers quite a few benefits over the traditional Elfin (Impatiens walleriana ) variety. This good looking breed sports oversized, showy flowers and variegated leaves.

It is able to thrive in many parts of the garden because it tolerates and even prefers partial sun. It is also a vigorous grower that gains more size than the old-fashioned variety and is able to fill in more space with fewer plants.
