Plant Care & Growing Tips

Growing Busy Lizzy Impatiens Xtreme Lilac seeds is a straightforward and enjoyable process. These annuals prefer consistent moisture and protection from intense afternoon sun to perform their best. Start your seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost date for an early bloom. Sow seeds on the surface of a well-draining seed-starting mix, as they require light to germinate. Maintain a consistent temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) and keep the soil moist. Germination typically occurs within 10-21 days.

Once seedlings are established and all danger of frost has passed, transplant them outdoors. Choose a location with partial to full shade, especially in warmer climates, as direct midday sun can scorch their delicate foliage and flowers. The ideal soil for Busy Lizzy Impatiens Xtreme Lilac seeds is rich, well-draining loam. Amend heavy clay soils with organic matter to improve drainage. Water regularly, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Impatiens are quite thirsty plants, especially during hot, dry periods, so monitor soil moisture closely. Fertilize every 2-4 weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer to encourage continuous blooming. Deadheading is not strictly necessary as they are self-cleaning, but removing spent blooms can encourage bushier growth and more flowers. Protect from slugs and snails, which can be attracted to their tender leaves. These plants are annuals, meaning they complete their life cycle in one growing season, but their prolific seeding can lead to volunteer plants in subsequent years.
