Notes

'Tango' impatiens (Impatiens 'Tango') is an annual for borders, shade gardens, and foundation plantings. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun to full shade and average to moist, loamy soil. Butterflies visit the flowers. It blooms in spring, summer, and autumn, so you get color across the seasons.

Pairs well with Escargot begonia, Boston fern, and Bitter ginger.
