Did I just get an unusual brug? This is my first and I'm wondering what to expect if I buy more next spring. Photo is of "Jerald's Joy" ten minutes ago. It has three blossoms on it. This is the 4th time it's bloomed since I got it in the mail on June 12th. It is in dappled sun where I grow impatiens.That is a 15 gallon grow bag I loaded with a combination of decomposed cow manure and potting mix (not potting soil) plus a small about of regular dirt. Been feeding it 10-60-10 bloom boost along with fish emulsion. Could that be why it was so fast to blossom? Wasn't a big plant when I got it. Only negative to this brug is it has absolutly no fragrance at any time of the day or night and was adverstised as having a nice one.
