Balsam White Rose flower seeds

Balsam requires 60 to 70 days from sowing to produce flowers, so an early start is essential. Try growing Balsam plants from seed if you have a long growing season, or pick them up at your favorite nursery. Balsam plant care is trouble-free due to its resistance to many common garden pests. Balsminaceae impatiens is a common sun to partial shade flowering annual. It is easy to grow and widely available at nurseries and garden centers.

The cup-shaped flowers stretch around 1 to 3 inches across. They begin blooming in the late spring and persist all the way until frost in the fall. The flowers can be solid or bicolors, and sometimes they are spotted. Balsam has a fast growth rate and should be planted in the spring after the threat of frost has passed. Information
