I bought a cutting of this impatien from Kartuz in CA. It is a naturally occuring cross between I. oliveri (now called Impatiens sodenii http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/56556/ ) and I. sultana (now called Impatiens walleriana http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/296001/ ).

I keep it in pots. When I need a new one I just break off some stems and pot them up. It gets leggy in summer and is a shy bloomer in the heat.
