Blue impatiens (busy Lizzy)

That is a beautiful Buzzy Lizzie, wonder if you can save the seeds from it after it flowers??

That seems a wee bit stiff, $18.99; have bought things on eBay before but a tad uncertain about a live plant. But have marked the site, and will check again in the Spring. I've never tried to carry impatiens over the Winter; they're so cheap at the garden centre. I'd try seeds (although I've never grown them from seed for the same reason), but would gladly give it a try. Thanks for the link.

found this DM, don't know if its what you are looking for....

Thanks, Moli; yes, that's it. Don't want to order a plant this late in the growing season, don't know if you can overwinter them indoors. But have marked the site, and thanks for the link!

Think I may try to find a UK supplier in the spring, would love to save some seed and try to grow them myself......I have had BL as houseplants a few times, but they were the taller ones, not the bedding plants...
