Impatiens (Impatiens spp.) is a perennial species, originally from Africa, New Guinea, which is part of the Balsaminaceae family. Although it is normally a perennial species in tropical areas, Impatiens is often cultivated as an annual plant, its special ornamental characteristics, namely the variously colored flowers (white, red, pink, purple, violet, yellow), being highly appreciated and used in various landscaping projects (decoration of parks, gardens, terraces, curbs, etc.). It can be grown both as a plant in the garden and in flowerpots/containers, and it can be sheltered indoors during the cold season.
