With pillar-box red, generous, double flowers from May to October this beauty will certainly set your borders, containers and baskets alight (from a colour perspective). Each of the rose-like blooms bears velvety-looking petals with a magical, glimmering underside - giving this variety its special name, Impatiens walleriana ‘Glimmer Double Bright Red’. Flowers are held against foliage which emerges in March and forms a dome of deeply veined, toothed, simple leaves. A fantastic flower for bees and other pollinators which radiates a magnetic charm and acts as the bold stroke which is sure to paint your garden with brilliance. A relatively new variety which is valued for its extra mildew resistance and robust nature.
Plant Impatiens walleriana ‘Glimmer Bright Red’ in moist, well-drained soil of an type which benefits from either full sun or partial shade and any aspect other than north-facing. These tender perennials are most frequently grown as annuals, and will die back when the weather turns cold in autumn or winter unless lifted before temperatures drop below 5°C.
