what are impaitents? annuals or perennals?

Answer 1

They freeze easily but if you plant them on good, really good, soil then they can reseed for next year. Once I saw a bed that bloomed by itself year after year I focused on keeping my impatient beds rich with humus and good rich dirt. Now, every year I have them without planting. Good luck and have fun.

Answer 2

Impatiens are usually considered tender annuals, because they do not survive any kind of frost or temperatures below freezing. They require a lot of water, and their stems are more fleshy than woody, which is why they are so susceptible to damage by cold.
If you can toss a light cover or sheet over your impatiens plants or shelter the pots inside the garage if have a frost warning, they will survive a while longer. Once the plants have taken a frost they will not recover.

Answer 3

Depends on what your hardiness zone is.....A bit of a surprise to me you ask the question...I have always considered impatiens to be the "canary" to judge the frost....Did we have one? Didn't we? Just look at the impatiens. On a scale of 1-10, impatience is the wimpiest plant I know regarding frost! Tomato plants will stick it out before the impatiens.

Unless you live in hardiness zone that never drops below 35 degrees (F), I would plan on them being an annual! Good gardening!

Answer 4

Impatiens are annuals. They will reseed themselves. Cuttings root in water in a week. They can be overwintered inside.

Answer 5

Perennials are flowers that come back every year. Annuals are flowers that last only a year.
Impatiens are flowers that like the shade and have beautiful flowers.
