Busy Lizzie Pearl Island – A Summer Showstopper

Impatiens walleriana, commonly known as Busy Lizzie, is a beloved annual perfect for UK gardens. The 'Pearl Island' variety bursts into life with shimmering pink, orange, and white flowers that light up your outdoor space from early summer right through to the first frosts.

• Long-Lasting Blooms: These free-flowering plants provide colour from June until autumn, making them a reliable choice for continuous seasonal interest.
• Disease Resistance: Specially bred to resist downy mildew, so you can plant with confidence and enjoy vigorous growth without worry.
• Compact & Adaptable: Reaching just 30cm in height and spread, Busy Lizzie Pearl Island fits beautifully into patio pots, window boxes, borders, and even hanging baskets.

Growing Guide & Care Tips

• Position: Plant in full sun or partial shade for best results. These Impatiens thrive in sheltered spots with indirect light.
• Soil: Prefers moist but well-drained soil. Enrich planting areas with compost before planting.
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged—especially during hot spells.
• Feeding: Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser every 2-3 weeks during the growing season to encourage prolific flowering.
• Planting Time: Set out garden-ready plants after the last frost in late spring for best establishment.
• Maintenance: Deadhead faded blooms regularly to prolong flowering. No pruning required; simply remove spent stems as needed.

Design Ideas & Companion Planting
