Athena Mix
Impatiens Seeds
Athena Mix includes all 7 Athena series colors: Appleblossom, Bright Purple, Coral Pink, Orange, Orange Flash, Red, and Red Flash. An extra helping of petals make the semi-double, 1 1/2 in. flowers resemble petite roses that quickly appear in about 10 weeks from seed. Vigorous, spreading, hybrid plants grow 10-12 inches tall and 14-16 in. wide. Athena Mix impatiens tolerate heat and humidity, and grow best where they receive afternoon shade and regular moisture. Use in hanging baskets, window boxes, and the front of garden beds for showy, colorful blooms from late spring to frost.
Growing Athena Mix Impatiens Seeds
Plant Impatiens Seeds: Sow seed in cell packs or flats, press into soil but do not cover. Needs light to germinate. Kept at 70-75°F., seeds germinate within 10-20 days. Transplant seedlings into the garden 8-12 in. apart after all danger of frost.
Grow Impatiens: Morning sun to dappled shade. Shade preferred in hot climates. New Guinea impatiens will tolerate somewhat more sun; avoid hot afternoon sun. Keep soil evenly moist, not soggy. Water impatiens early in the day, foliage and stems will be dry by evening, plants less likely to be bothered by slugs and snails. Impatiens are excellent container or hanging basket plants. Bloom season is long, from spring until frost. Impatiens flowers attract hummingbirds.
