Frequently asked questions
Busy Lizzie
Is every plant sold as Busy Lizzie the same species?
No. This listing names Impatiens balsamina, while Busy Lizzie often refers to other Impatiens. Confirm the supplied label.
Will the stems tolerate rough handling?
Soft stems can snap. Carry the container from below and keep foliage clear of doorways.
Is this a permanent flowering display?
No. Seasonal plants have a growth and flowering cycle; plan replacement or renewal when the display finishes.
Will more fertiliser prolong every flower?
No. Flowers age naturally; excessive feed can favour soft leaves rather than a balanced display.
