One of the fastest growing Impatiens varieties on the market, this Athena Impatiens will cover the shade garden or container quickly and beautifully! This double flowering, low-growing, long-lasting, compact Impatiens is a better spreader and bigger bloomer than many others. The flowers have a rosebud shape, very elegant in bud as well as bloom, and open to bicolor blooms of orange and white. Athena Impatiens begin flowering earlier than most other varieties, fully flowering by the time summer starts, and if maintained will continue flowering well into fall.
The leaves are dark green and very lush, and the plant spreads vigorously, scrambling across bare soil fast to show off even more blooms. Finding a plant for shade can be difficult, so look no further than this impatiens. It will only reach approximately 8 inches, but will spread 18 to 24 inches wide.
