About This

• WHAT IS IMPATIENS TOM THUMB MIX? HOME GROWN Tom Thumb Mix is a dwarf Balsam Impatiens (Impatiens balsamina) producing double blooms in purple, pink, red, salmon, and white. This 2 pack contains 600 heirloom, open-pollinated, non-GMO seeds total.
• WHAT DO TOM THUMB IMPATIENS FLOWERS LOOK LIKE? Plants produce 1–2 in. camellia-style double flowers in five colors. The distinctive top-flowering habit displays blooms above the foliage rather than beneath the leaves for a fuller, more visible floral display.
• WHERE SHOULD I PLANT IMPATIENS TOM THUMB? Grow in full sun to partial shade, with afternoon shade preferred in hot climates. The compact habit works well in borders, edging, patio containers, window boxes, cottage gardens, and woodland-edge plantings.
• HOW DO I GERMINATE IMPATIENS SEEDS? Sow seeds about ⅛ in. deep and barely cover, as light is needed for germination. Maintain 65–70°F soil temperatures and expect germination in 14–21 days. Start indoors 6–8 weeks before last frost or direct sow after frost danger has passed.
• HOW LARGE DO TOM THUMB IMPATIENS GROW? Compact plants reach approximately 12–16 in. tall with an 8–12 in. spread, forming a dense, rounded habit that fits smaller garden spaces, front borders, edging, and containers without overwhelming nearby plants.
• DO TOM THUMB IMPATIENS ATTRACT POLLINATORS? Yes. The colorful blooms attract bumble bees, honeybees, and butterflies, bringing pollinator activity to beds, borders, containers, and partially shaded garden spaces throughout the flowering season.
• HOW LONG DO TOM THUMB IMPATIENS BLOOM? Plants begin flowering approximately 60–70 days from sowing and continue until first frost. Touch-Me-Not seed pods burst when mature and can naturally self-seed, producing volunteer plants the following season.
• CAN I GROW TOM THUMB IMPATIENS IN CONTAINERS? Yes. Their dwarf 12–16 in. habit makes them well suited to patio pots, porch containers, window boxes, raised beds, and other compact spaces where taller Balsam Impatiens may be too large.
• WHAT SEEDS ARE INCLUDED IN THIS 2 PACK? You receive 600 Tom Thumb Mix Impatiens seeds total, with 300 seeds per pack. Seeds are heirloom, open-pollinated, and non-GMO, sourced from European seed stock and packed in the USA.
• HOW DO I CARE FOR TOM THUMB IMPATIENS? Space plants 8–12 in. apart for airflow and avoid overhead watering to help reduce powdery mildew risk. Pinch growing tips when seedlings reach about 4 in. for bushier growth, and provide afternoon shade in hot-summer climates.
