From California's Derick Pitman comes this vigorous selection of the hardy Impatiens arguta. Impatiens arguta hails from 6,000'-9,000' in the mountains from Nepal, Tibet, and into western China. The open branches are adorned with widely-spaced, large, tubular blue-lavender flowers, produced from midsummer though fall. Impatiens 'Blue Dream' can easily grow to 2' tall x 6' wide in one season but remains in a clump and is airy enough so, like a speeding car on an interstate, other plants weave their way through, creating interesting combinations.
