What type of impatiens are these?
I am not a fan of the New Guinea impatiens that is now being offered as the
replacement for the no longer available Walleriana. The leaves look like they are made of silk. A neighbor has some different type of impatiens. It is taller than the Walleriana. He'd like to know what type it is so that he can buy it again next year.

The scientific name is Catharantus roseus, but they are usually sold as "Vinca" or "Periwinkle". The species: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catharanthus_roseus Some stellar examples of cultivars: http://www.swallowtailgardenseeds.co...als/vinca.html They are usually happier in part sun (especially morning sun) rather than full shade. -- Pat in Plymouth MI "Yes, swooping is bad." email valid but not regularly monitored |

I'm pretty sure those are periwinkles (Vinca rosea.) HTH Bob |
