Impatiens dying prematurely
They have been blooming all season in the shady parts of our garden. However, lately, they are slowly dying on us, despite normal watering care.
Does anybody have any suggestions as to why this is happening? We have not had any cold nights as yet in S. Ontario, and the weather continues to be good. Thanks! |

Here in SE Michigan, I've had to give up on Impatiens walleriana, due to the spread of Impatiens downy mildew.
