Why are my double impatiens loosing their original color?

Question

When I first got my double impatiens they were dark pink and white. They were striped with just as much white as pink. Now they are almost all dark pink with very little white remaining at the edges. The plant is healthy and still flowering nicely but I miss the original color. Can anyone tell me how to restore them.

Answer 1

They go though a cycle. They are only good for one season and as they get older they lose their pigment. You can try and fertilize them. Hopefully that helps.
