its lovely

starting to get some seeds so will send some out by the end of the month :happydance:
anybody else want some just pm me your details

i tried nipping the top out of one of mine and i think,,,,, it thinks,,,,, it is a real bush, well impressed

i got totally side tracked when i was looking this plant up, went all round the world and ended up at seed suppliers and there is a purple one as well, i think i might order a packet grow them next year and keep on sharing the love
(just need to find the supplier again now) ha ha ha

 

Try Chiltern seeds they do loads of exotic / uncommon seeds.

It is lovely! A really healthy looking plant too. Having never seen anything like it, I googled red balsam and found this:-

30 FRESH BALSAM IMPATIENS RED FLOWER PLANT SEEDS/GARDEN | eBay

They have other colours as well. I tried some balsam impatiens in the garden a few years back, got them to flowering size, but nothing like yours, and they hated rain, flowers went all soggy.
