Impatiens Devine Mix F1

 

WHEN TO SOW

Late February to April.

WHEN TO SOW

Impatiens need light, uniform soil temperature, and moisture to germinate successfully. Sow late winter to mid spring at 21-24°C (70-75°F) on the surface of a good seed compost and cover with a very fine sprinkling of vermiculute. Ensure the soil is damp but not wet and seal inside a polythene bag until after germination, usually 4-21 days. Do not exclude light.

WHAT TO DO NEXT

When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant and grow on in cooler conditions. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out, after all risk of frost, 30cm (12in) apart in sun or part shade on ordinary well drained soil. For pot plants, transplant seedlings into 7.5cm (3in) pots, grow in cool, well ventilated and give plenty of light, but shade from direct sun.
