I had a balsam once. Not sure if I bought it?? probably...
It looked OK--but it was white--and I do not like white flowers a lot--
except beautiful white Petunias.

Anyway--It grew so tall that I swore never to have it again.
Next spring--there were gobs of babies growing up all over.
Yanked them all and tossed them...

I think I may chance some regular Impatiens again this summer.
I miss them too much......I had ONE last simmer--that selfosprouted.

Karen---
You don't have to do that! Seed packets are all in at the HD--and you pay, like, $1
for most Burpee seeds...

Also--I put aside a baggie of seeds for you from the "Limelight 4 O'clock".
You like chartreuse--right? The leaves on this 4 are pale green and the blooms
are bright magenta. I have grown this twice in my garden.
These grow very small--just a little loose mound--maybe 12" tall.
Really a nice accent color with other flowers.

I think I have a picture--this is from 2008.....G.
