I took some seeds of this impatiens from the road side several months ago.
It's an easy growing plant.
Kembang Pacar (Impatiens balsamina) is mostly grow wildly on the roadside, especially on the humid or damp area.
I took it to add more shade of color on my garden, but now they are growing like crazy on my terrace garden.
The old ripen fruit will be broken and the seeds will be thrown away, and then grounded, next the favorable place and weather will stimulate self seedling.
Now, my terrace garden full of purple color from this impatiens.
Beautiful, but I should pull out some of them, because they are taking over some pot plants and growing wildly like as weed.
But when they're so pretty it's a shame to get rid of them!
ReplyDeleteYes, I think you're alright, Belinda.
DeleteThey are pretty but.....we have them too in the wild and a long time ago I took seeds with me for the garden.....Every year new plants come up and I pull them out, because they are invasive, like weeds
ReplyDeleteYes, they are so pretty with a wide shade of color, but so invasive like weed.
DeleteThsi plant is my favorite but unfortunately i can't find the seeds...
ReplyDeleteI love it too, especially the double petal version. So beautiful!
DeleteA beautiful little plant :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThat looks very similar to Himalayan balsam that grows wild here and is considered a nuisance plant as it is a prolific spreader,
ReplyDeleteMaybe, you're alright. I think I should googling about Himalayan balsam. Thanks for the information, Sue
