From the beginning
of human history, people have thought about flowers and plants as something
mysterious and meaningful. Not so long ago I learned that symbolic use of
flowers was mentioned in Egyptian, Chinese, Roman and Greek manuscripts and
early writings.
Meanings are
associated with many flowers such as carnation, snapdragon, love-in-a-mist, daisy, forget-me-not,
sunflower,
busy Lizzie and more, although planting each of them is not a special secret.
That is, except for one. Busy Lizzie looks so busy that I took an extra mile to
share with you a couple of facts about this specie of the genus Impatiens.
Busy Lizzie Flower is Famous for Its Continuous Flowering
Busy Lizzie Growing Requirements
Busy Lizzie, known in the US as
patient Lucy, is a delightful flowering plant without which my garden patio
wouldn’t look so lighthearted.
Within the group of my hanging
plants I take care of three busy Lizzie varieties: Valero Impreza H Pink Splash, Valero Impreza H Red and Valero Impreza H White.
They all thrive in well-drained,
fertile soil. I’ve noticed that my busy Lizzie varieties work well on the
northern side of my garden and would suggest to you to try that location at
your home.
How Did Busy Lizzie Get Its Name
Busy Lizzie is a proud
representative of Impatiens, species of flowers that are famous for blooming during
most part of a year.
Originated in East Africa, busy
Lizzie comes in various colors like the pink, red and white varieties that I
grow, plus there is orange variety and a range of bicolor types including the
New Guinea hybrids that produce multicolored leaves.
If you’ve dreamed of having a flower
that keeps blooming, this is the one. Enjoy growing it!
