In the reference 4 varieties crop Busy Lizzie, where this is mentioned in the description.

The flower diameter in Impatiens walleriana varieties is typically 3–5 cm. The value of this trait directly depends on the breeding line and flower type: double forms or modern F1 hybrids are often characterized by an increased corolla size to enhance ornamental appeal.
