Impatien Color Combinations

18 years ago

This is my first year massing impatiens. I've got a friend that has been doing it for years. He prefers the pastel shades highlighted by 'orange' (which looks red to me when it isn't against something that is actually red). He (and now I) grow Envoys. He grew blue, pink, and orange this year. I don't care for any of those colors, by themselves or together... SO I grew 'purple star' (which is clearly FUSCHIA!) white, and 'crimson' (cranberry color - tempo - envoy doesn't offer a cranberry). The crimson is a beautiful color in the sun, but dawn and dusk you can't see it at all. I was disappointed, with my colors - :( - beautiful massed flowers, SOOO COLORFUL.. but not together... Shesh... (sigh) I don't like pinks... so next year I'm thinking of going to the blitz 3000 series in red (not crimson), white and SALMON. Anyone have any thoughts? Anyone have experience with blitz 3000 - anyone have any experience with Infinity? What do folks think of salmon, white, red combo? Anyone?
