Impatiens omeiana ‘Pink Nerves’

Description

Impatiens omeiana ‘Pink Nerves’ is a beautiful and highly unusual variety, seldom available.  ‘Pink Nerves’ perhaps relating to the striking deep red-pink stems and veining on the leaves.  Leaves are long and lanceolate with deep pink-red veining contrasting fabulously against deep green.

During the summer months, Impatiens omeiana ‘Pink Nerves’ forms pretty, yellow-peachy coloured trumnpet-like flowers which hang elegantly on pink stems.

Impatiens omeiana ‘Pink Nerves’ prefers a full to semi shaded position in moisture retentive but free draining fertile soil.  Although hardy, be cautious not to allow the plant to sit in wet/freezing water during colder months.
