Just for those who are curious, I have been successfully growing rockapulcos in part sun conditions for years (5 hours of NW sun) in zone 8b for years! As long as I keep them well watered and fed, they do great. People ask me about them all the time because they are so gorgeous

[@melinalambuth589]

I saw the orange rockapulco double at my local Lowe’s and fell in love. I think I have 4 now. 😁

[@SpokenGarden]

Hi Melina! 👋 That's great! They are such a beautiful plant and those flowers, OMG! Thank you for watching and for commenting. 😊

[@remenikesavan4949]

Can u give me ?

[@paisley1134]

I grew the double impatiens in a coral color and some that were white but had a hint of pinkish in the middle. I grew them in zone 6a last summer 2022. I fertilized with a weak fish emulsion that I purposely mixed up weak. And I only fertilized 2 times, once early then once mid summer. I had several large containers and they were stunning. I mixed in wire vines . SW Michigan

[@janetleeharrison]

So pretty! Love the color contrasts and the plant varieties you chose. Enjoy your weekend guys!

[@SpokenGarden]

Hi J! 👋 Thank you and we hope you enjoyed your weekend, too! 😃

[@dianebeckett1697]

Thank you for this video, I love impatiens they are so beautiful! 💚

[@SpokenGarden]

Hi Diane! 👋 Thank you for saying that and for watching our video! We really like impatiens, too! 😉👍

[@HelloKitty474KITTYS]

Thank you, my double impatiens are getting leggy, so I will attempt to prune some of the stems, I hope that helps!

[@lieuhtphan6821]

I love this colour

[@SpokenGarden]

Hi Lieu HT Phan! 👋👋 Right!?! These are sooo gorgeous. We want more! 😉😉 Thank you for watching!!

[@Manny1M]

Lovely video, thank you both. May I ask how you would treat it for pests like aphids or spiders if the need should arise? Also, please advise if there is anything I could put on them as a preventative?

[@shihabkottakkal9966]

Super

[@jaxfl8945]

I started mine from seeds I purchased from Home Depot in mid May and out of 15 seeds I only have one germinated. October 5 and the plant has grown at least 9 inches tall...today I noticed 2 buds which I hope will bloom. I am so excited. I fertilize once week with 24-8-16 (nitrogen, phosphate, potash) mix brand called expert gardener from Walmart. I mix in water and spray the soil. Is this fertilizer good?

[@WalkingbytheSpiritAlways]

Hi, The last two years that I have tried to grow these something has basically taken off all the leaves and made them look like stalks with just a few leaves at the top. Do you know what that is? I just threw them away. So if they have all kinds of insects and mildew, what should be the schedule for spraying and what product to use please? I got the pink double this year and really would like to have success since it's in a pre-planted container with Diamond Frost and polka dot plant. Thank you.

[@remenikesavan4949]

Do u have online sale?

[@jcrane45585]

I bought two this year and I looooove them. Totally obsessed. Planning to plant an understory with the lavender and white ones beneath my hydrangeas next year. But they were quite expensive where I am. Is there a way to propogate or grow from seeds?

[@silbianongbah4248]

You can propagate the plant easily

[@jerinmathew7113]

Whats the soil mix

[@snicholson0709]

How does one harvest the seeds?

[@user-vg3nl6cj3y]

Yes please, I would love to harvest the seeds from mine but I can't find it in my double impaients?

[@ts3063]

Buds, but barely any blooms. Ideas?

[@SpokenGarden]

Hi there! Good question. This could be your plants just haven't had enough time to flower yet and they are getting there. Also, if the plants have had too much water and are kept under too wet conditions, this can delay flowering. And, if you pruned or pinched your plants in the recent past, then that can also delay blooming. There could also be a sun light/shad component happening here, depending on which impatiens you are growing. Action Steps: Let the top 1-2 inches of soil dry out a bit before watering again. Also, if your impatien plant is in a container, try moving it to either a little more sunny or shady location to see if that helps. Hope this helps and thank you for your question.

[@ts3063]

@@SpokenGarden thank you, I’ll try these things.

[@user-vg3nl6cj3y]

How do you collect the seeds from double impaients plants ?

[@SpokenGarden]

Hi there! Good question. We haven't done that yet, but would like to. Here is a video link that might help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaeyYpuIgdCce8ksi=0Lp8Uq_5ra1LqEoH Thank you for watching our video!

[@user-vg3nl6cj3y]

Where are the seed pods ?

[@SpokenGarden]

Hi there! Good question. Most plants, including Impatiens, will produce the seed pods after the flower has withered at the exact location where the flower petals were or just below those flower petals on that same stem. You should see seed pods developing on Impatiens anytime from mid to late summer or even into the fall, depending on when they dropped them petals. If you want to collect seeds from your Impatiens, make sure to not deadhead them and let the withered flowers continue to develop on that stem. Hope that helps and thank you for watching!

[@sheejanalini2077]

Do you have online sales

[@SpokenGarden]
