Impatiens omeiana ‘Sango’

Named here, this is a relatively new form of this hardy species from China with the most sumptuous deep-red pigment washed through the stems and leaves. Foliage emerges with metallic-pink narrow markings along the midribs of the leaves, expanding to a brownish-green with deep maroon undersides. Early autumn flowers are deep yellow and cream with orange speckling in the throat. Fully hardy and easy in semi-shade, not too dry in summer.
