Impatiens Cuttings

I propagated impatiens right in the ground last week. I had never done it before, and I was afraid I was going to kill the poor things. I did read about it prior to trying it and everyone said it was one of the easiest things to do. Turns out is really is! I love gardening on the cheap, and this fits the bill!  It helps me multiply the number of colorful flowers in my yard without spending any cash. In a few weeks, these should be much fuller and flowering. I'm excited to see what they will look like.

You can see in the above photos the bare patch right in the middle with the small cuttings. I cut them from the lush New Guinea Impatiens to the left and the Double Impatiens on the right side.
