Description: GROWING INSTRUCTIONS:For spring planting, a 30 day cold stratification is needed before sowing. Start Impatiens seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date, or direct sow outdoors after the last frost. Sow seeds 1/8" deep in well-draining soil and keep the soil moist but not soggy. Maintain a temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) for best germination. Seeds should germinate within 10-20 days. Once seedlings have developed two sets of true leaves, transplant them outdoors after all danger of frost has passed. Space plants 9-12 inches apart in a partially shaded location. Water regularly, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist. Impatiens is a slow-growing plant, and you’ll need to start the seedlings about three months before your last spring frost. Impatiens seed germination can take up to 21 days, with most of the sprouting happening within the first two weeks. Some gardeners may try to save money by broadcasting the seeds over a tray, then transplanting the tiny seedlings once they grow leaves, but you’ll reduce the chance of transplant shock if you start the seeds off in individual small pots or six-pack cells of their own. You’ll have to transplant the seedlings to there anyway, so you might as well start them in their eventual home. Any empty cells from seeds that don’t sprout are a small price to pay for healthier, sturdy impatiens.
