✓IMPATIENS TOM THUMB MIX, 300 SEEDS: HOME GROWN Tom Thumb Mix (Impatiens balsamina) produces cup-shaped double blooms in purple, pink, red, salmon, and white on compact 12–16 in. dwarf plants. Heirloom, open-pollinated, and non-GMO.
✓CUP-SHAPED DOUBLE BLOOMS IN FIVE COLORS: Tom Thumb Mix produces 1–2 in. double flowers in purple, pink, red, salmon, and white. Blooms are held above the foliage, a distinctive top-flowering trait that sets this compact balsam variety apart.
✓THRIVES IN FULL SUN TO PARTIAL SHADE: Impatiens balsamina grows in full sun to partial shade, with afternoon shade preferred in hot climates. A colorful choice for partial-shade beds, borders, containers, and other garden spaces with filtered sunlight.
✓GERMINATES IN 14 TO 21 DAYS: Sow seeds no more than 1/8 in. deep and barely cover, as light is needed for germination. Maintain 65–70°F soil temperatures. Start indoors 6–8 weeks before last frost or direct sow outdoors after frost danger has passed.
✓COMPACT DWARF PLANTS, 12 TO 16 INCHES TALL: Tom Thumb develops a compact, bushy habit approximately 12–16 in. tall with an 8–12 in. spread. Its smaller size works especially well for edging, window boxes, patio containers, and front-of-border plantings.
✓ATTRACTS BEES AND BUTTERFLIES: Cup-shaped flowers attract bumble bees, honeybees, and butterflies throughout the growing season. Grow Tom Thumb Mix in pollinator-friendly cottage gardens, containers, borders, and partial-shade plantings.
✓BLOOMS FROM LATE SPRING TO FIRST FROST: Tom Thumb Mix begins flowering approximately 60–70 days from sowing and continues through the first frost under suitable conditions, providing a long season of colorful double blooms.
