Impatiens Blitz orange-scarlet

1981 AAS Flower Winner

The vivid orange-scarlet 2 to 2 1/4-inch blossoms shine against the lustrous bronze-green foliage of the Blitz impatiens. The plants are compact, averaging 10-12 inches in height and 12-16 inches in spread. Like all modern hybrid impatiens, Blitz will tolerate full sun except in areas where intense sunlight tends to fade or scorch summer flowers.
