Very popular garden plant. Perennial and everblooming in mild winter climates. Grown as an annual elsewhere, or dug up and brought indoors to overwinter. Seed pods snap open, shooting seeds around, which may germinate fairly easily. {{Inc| Impatiens sultani, Hook. f. From 12-24 in. high, with stout st. and branches, rather succulent and green, glabrous: lvs. elliptical or lanceolate and narrowed into a petiole about 1 in. long; lower lvs. alternate, upper ones almost whorled: peduncles axillary; fls. rich scarlet in the original form; petals flat; standard obovate- orbicular and retuse; lip less than half length of petals, suddenly narrowed into a slender upwardly curved long spur. Hybrids and sports have given shades from pink to almost purple, and a white variety also exists. Spur is very long and thin. Zanzibar.—Increased by seeds; also by cuttings, which root readily. A greenhouse plant; it also does well as a house plant, blooming almost continuously. var. episcopi, Hort. A perpetual flowering variety with purple-carmine fls. marked brilliant rose.—I. sultani was named by Hooker "in honor of that distinguished potentate, the Sultan of Zanzibar, to whose enlightened and philanthropic rule eastern Africa owes so much." }} ==Cultivation== Keep moist and out of strong winds. May get leggy, in which case trimming may strengthen the plants. Otherwise they usually require little intervention. ===Propagation=== Seed or cuttings. Volunteers are common where the conditions are appropriate. ===Pests and diseases=== Fairly pest free. ==Varieties== In a rainbow of colors, more double flowered varieties have become more widely available, as have bicolored varieties. ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/> *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
