New Guinea impatiens are a tropical plant hailing from—you guessed it—New Guinea.
These plants have succulent stems and attractive foliage that both create a wonderful backdrop for their large blooms. There are also many foliage variations of New Guineas.
Flowers of New Guinea impatiens are like a maximized version of standard impatiens flowers. Pink, white, lavender, and orange create wonderful palettes to incorporate into your garden.
All flowers are composed of five thick petals. Impatiens also have a flower spur full of nectar, which makes them a favorite of moths and butterflies.
