Use Impatients in Water gardens
I developed a small waterfall (10') which drains into a really small pond that I can step across. Anyway, the pond isn't deep enough to plant water lillies, but I wanted color in it anyway. PLANT IMPATIENTS...just shake off as much soil as possible and wedge the roots among the rocks to keep the leaves above the water. I did this last summer and the impatients thrived. They were a beautiful addition.

today after seeing your new post/picture. I did not realize that you have been on here for quite awhile. Glad to see you back and posting again.

Your idea is very interesting. Never thought to do this with impatients. And love the added picture to show how beautiful this idea can look in your pond area.

Thanks for the tip.

Your welcome! An added bonus is that you can insert the impatients into the pond sooner than you could plant them on land as the water will protect them from a light frost and of course they will again be protected by light frost when the fall arrives.

Re: Use Impatients in Water gardens
I can say those impatients have grown very well, the goldfish love all the hiding areas and we've got 3 frogs hopping about. Although, I hope mom will post an updated picture soon of the pond. lol
