Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Speciesbox Impatiens tinctoria, the dyers busy lizzie, is a species of flowering plant in the balsam family Balsaminaceae, native to tropical Africa.[1]

Description

This erect perennial grows from large underground tubers, to a height of Шаблон:Cvt or more. It has deeply-veined, elliptic, slightly toothed leaves. Large Шаблон:Cvt hooded white flowers, with deep crimson splashes in the centres, hang from short stems in summer and autumn. Each flower bears a curved red spur at the back, up to Шаблон:Cvt long. The flowers are scented like gardenias.[2] The stems and leaves are succulent and fleshy.[2][3]

Impatiens tinctoria is listed by the Plant List as "Unresolved", meaning that it has not yet been established as an accepted name or a synonym.[4]

Cultivation

This tropical plant tolerates short periods down to Шаблон:Cvt (RHS H3),[5] as long as it is kept in a sheltered, partially shaded spot with a protective mulch in winter. It prefers humid conditions which replicate its native habitat.
