Hi Clyde. Well, as far as why not try some white impations, I guess white is
not my favorite color - I prefer a mass of color, and have generally gone
with
red, the fucias and lilacs etc. Now, did you mean all white or internmixing
red and white.? I think I remember you saying that you plant impations with
your hostas.. Do you pretty much stick to whites? >>
Hi Ronnie:
I use mainly white, which gives depth to the border, but I also use red. I
particularly nowadays like orange impatienses.
I agree that mass plantings of one color are very nice and dramatic.But
sometimes I have mixed colors, just for the heck of it---and the results have
been pleasing.
Have you tried any of the doubles? and minis? I find that impatienses grow TOO
well in some locations and hide the hostas. So I try to find the true
miniatures.
