Impatiens omeiana is a busy Lizzie that hails from China and thrives in shade. It propagates by underground stolons, but is not invasive.

Impatiens omeiana 'Ice Storm' is a new cultivar that has a silvery frosting on the leaves and orchid-like, creamy yellow flowers in early autumn. It looks good in a jungle or exotic scheme and is ideal for growing in a container.

Grow Impatiens omeiana in moist, well-drained soil that doesn't dry out. It prefers part to full shade. In milder areas it should come through the winter unscathed; mulch around the base in autumn. If growing in a pot, you will need to bring it under cover in winter to protect from frost.
