Impatiens niamniamensis - Congo Impatiens (Impatiens niamniamensis - Congo Impatiens)

My Congo Imapatiens in the front yard which were planted last Fall started blooming about 3 weeks ago...they bloom most of the year here in San Diego. They live about 2 or 3 years before new cutting have to be taken. Photo taken Mar 24, 2011.

Alexandramou:

Sorry! I don't ever recall any seed pods or seeds from this plant. I've been growing these from cuttings for more than 15 years (from the original plants).

Alexandramou:

Many of my plants produce seeds. Some of the hybrids won't, though.
