Using Impatiens walleriana as an annual for creating color patches, borders, and ground-cover carpets in shaded conditions.

In the reference 26 varieties crop Busy Lizzie, where this is mentioned in the description.

Impatiens walleriana is a priority crop for landscaping shaded and semi-shaded areas where other annuals lose their decorative appeal. The plant is valued for its ability to branch intensely and form a dense bush, which allows for a continuous floral effect in mass plantings.

When planning flower beds, a key factor is selecting varieties with a compact habit that do not require additional pruning. The standard planting scheme assumes a distance of 25–30 cm between plants, ensuring the bushes close up. In open ground, the use of well-drained soil remains a critical condition for preventing root rot.
