Description




Our premium 7 color garden balsam seeds come with stable germination rate and bushy compact upright growth. Botanically named Impatiens balsamina, also known as touch-me-not, this mixed seven-color strain bears gorgeous full double blooms similar to camellias in red, pink, purple, white and gradient shades. Thick glossy green leaves form a neat shrub shape with strong ornamental value.
Garden balsam performs well in partial shade and cannot withstand intense scorching sunlight, blooming continuously from early summer until autumn frost arrives. It is widely used for flower bed mass planting, under-tree shaded landscaping, border edging, courtyard group planting and balcony container potted decoration. It prefers loose fertile well-drained soil with slight humidity, and its mature seed pods pop open when touched to spread seeds automatically. Regular moderate watering and timely deadheading are the only daily care needed, which makes it a perfect choice for shaded garden layout and novice flower growers.

Planting Instructions

  1. Soil Preparation: Prepare loose, humus-rich, well-drained loamy soil; avoid high-temperature direct baking soil and long-term waterlogged ground.
  2. Sowing Method: Evenly scatter seeds on flattened soil surface, cover with a thin 0.3cm soil layer and gently press soil to fix seeds.
  3. Germination Condition: Keep topsoil consistently slightly moist, maintain constant temperature 18–25°C, seeds germinate within 5–10 days.
  4. Seedling Care: Thin overcrowded seedlings for ventilation and growing space; place in bright partial shade to prevent leaf scorch by strong sun.
  5. Daily Maintenance: Keep soil moderately moist, do not allow full drought; remove faded flowers to encourage new buds, pay attention to aphid prevention in hot humid weather.
