Back in June, I bought three impatiens plants in three small pots. Two were pink and one a deep fuchsia. From these three plants, I've rooted any number of additions to my porch garden. The pink one grows quite tall, taller than I've known impatiens to get. And in this big pot in the shelter of our porch, they have outdone themselves.
The temps are dropping. We haven't had a frost yet but who knows if they'll make it through the night.
Darkness is closing in, so we light a fire and switch on lamps. The seasons roll on in their implacable way.

Our flowerpots out front are enduring frost every night now but are surviving still. Will post.
I envy you! I love impatiens above all summer flowers, but we can't grow them because of the deer. They would all be gone the first night they were in the ground. Deer won't eat caladiums, so we get annual color with the reds and pinks.
My impatiens are all in pots on the porch---because of the deer.
