Planting impatiens someday. Not this year so I can wait to see what happens with this mildew. Probably they will find a treatment or find varieties that are resistant.

I'm ambiguous about impatiens, though. They don't seem to attract wildlife and the colors they come in don't excite me. But they make a nice ground cover in places where other things don't do well or flower and up till now they've been an easy low maintenance plant.
