Impatiens puberula

Another relatively hardy Impatiens from Nepal, this one with 1 purple flowers resembling orchids in summer and fall is a tuberous rooted perennial. With a somewhat sprawling, low spreading growth habit, 12 tall and 3 wide…enjoys bright shade, humus rich, well-drained soil that is consistently moist. Also glorious in a pot. May go dormant by fall; winter mulch is advised to keep roots snug.
