Tom Thumb is a compact, dwarf Balsam producing a profusion of colourful flowers in shades of rose, salmon, scarlet, violet and white. Growing to approximately 20 cm tall, the neat, bushy plants flower generously through the warmer months until the first frost.
Its compact habit makes Tom Thumb particularly well suited to garden beds, borders, edging and containers, where the colourful blooms create a dense and cheerful display. Easy to grow and relatively quick to establish, it is a lovely choice for filling smaller spaces or planting in groups.
Impatiens prefers fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture and performs well in full sun in cooler conditions or partial shade in warmer climates. Plants are frost sensitive.

Approximately 80 seeds per packet
