Origin
The Paradise Impatiens are developed from species endemic to
New Guinea. It was through the foresight of one man, Mr. Ludwig
Kientzler of Germany that the potentials of this plant were
recognized. Ludwig started a breeding programme with these species
and met with great success. He is regarded as the father of
the Paradise Impatiens seen on the market all around the world
today. Through intensive breeding since the 1970’s come
the plants we know today, that we see in florist shops and plant
markets everywhere are not recognizable as descended from the
species.
Care Instructions
Paradise do best in part shade, protected from cool winds and
winter chills. Use the best quality potting mix you can buy
for courtyard pots. In gardens work in compost, peat moss or
other humus. Do not allow to dry out. Plant in well drained
soil. Plant even with soil level. Create a shallow moat around
the plant to hold water. Moderate care with a regular light
application of liquid fertiliser every 6-9 weeks.
Uses
Paradise are excellent for flowering pots for patios, courtyards
and hanging baskets and well drained garden beds in semi shade.
