Impatiens - Au Revoir or Goodbye?
Having spent much of yesterday digging up all my impatiens, which have
succumbed to that fungus this year, and then buying up any remaining decent bedding in the local garden centre to fill the more visible gaps, it was heartening to read in Amateur Gardening today a prediction that impatiens "could die out" within five years. Seems that T&M are researching alternatives "in case". I've got something in my head that I've read somewhere that other plants are also possibly susceptible to this "downy mildew" fungus and shouldn't be planted where impatiens have been affected. But I can't remember where I read this and what plants were mentioned. Does this ring a bell with anyone else? I wonder if there is something in the fact that of late the regular Amateur Gardening emails have stopped and the publishers have started sending me Angling Times ones instead?
