Just because the shady spots in your garden are free of sun, that doesn't mean they
should be free of colour and interest.

In fact, impatiens grow really well in shady areas, and come in a range of bright colours to liven up any dark corner.

From pale pink to vibrant orange, we have a range of shades in our Traditional Value and easy-plant Pop 'n' Grow seedling ranges.

To get started, pop into your local Bunnings, The Warehouse or supermarket to pick up the
seedlings.

Or take the easy option and head to our online shop at www.awapuni.co.nz to get them
delivered straight to your door. Purchase six or more items and get free delivery to a non-rural address or pay just $4 for delivery to a rural address.

Once you’ve got your seedlings, pop them into hanging baskets filled with potting mix to add a splash of colour right around the house and garden.

Lastly, be sure to use slug bait to keep pests away and pick off dead flower heads to encourage new ones to grow.
