Why Grow Busy Lizzies?
If you’re looking for easy, long-lasting colour, Busy Lizzies (Impatiens) are one of the most reliable bedding plants you can grow. These cheerful, compact plants produce a profusion of bright, cheerful blooms that keep coming from late spring right through to the first frosts. Unlike some summer bedding plants, they’re just as happy in shadier spots, making them ideal for underplanting, filling gaps in beds and borders, or adding colour to tricky areas of the garden.
Versatile and Low Maintenance Garden Plants
Busy Lizzies are one of the easiest plants to grow, making them ideal for both beginner and experienced gardeners. They thrive in both sun and partial shade, and their compact, bushy habit makes them perfect for patio containers, hanging baskets, and window boxes. No need for deadheading - they’ll keep on flowering without any extra effort. Just keep them watered and fed, and they’ll reward you with months of colour.
A Summer-Long Display of Colour
With their vivid flowers and lush green foliage, Busy Lizzies add instant impact wherever they're planted. Whether you prefer classic pinks, reds, and purples, or softer pastels and crisp whites, there’s a variety to suit every garden style. Their continuous flowering habit means you’ll have a beautiful display all summer long, with no need to replace or refresh plants mid-season.
Resilient and Reliable
Modern disease-resistant varieties mean today's Busy Lizzies are tougher and more resilient than ever, standing up to the British weather with ease. Whether it’s a scorching summer or a damp, drizzly season, these hardy plants keep on blooming.
