I've just bought several patio plants from focus, and the label is missing for this plant. Can anyone tell me its name?

Looks a bit like a New Guinea Impatiens, Geoffo.

It's impatiens, (busy lizzy) but one of the posher varieties, forgotten its proper name, will look it up later when I have time, but treat it the same as other busy lizzies - shady, lots of water, etc.

Thanks for your replies. Can I assume then that it is an annual

Yes it's an annual over there - over here we're lucky that these grow for years.

Thanks for all your help. Nice looking plant, but disappointed, as I hadn't realised I had bought an annual
