I hate to bother you seasoned gardeners w/all my beginner's questions, but sometimes I just don't have time to do a look-up. A neighbor left these on my front porch over the holiday weekend. I need to get them in the ground but want to make sure I put them where they'll be happy. Any tips are appreciated and as always, thanks in advance -

They like full sun. Very attractive to butterflies.

I have quite a few butterflies fluttering around here already so I'm very excited about that. He also left me an 18 pak of assorted Impatiens (I have lots of shade). I think I'm going to like having a commercial landscaper as a neighbor :)

Lucky you! I wish I had a neighbor like that. The one next to me has 7-foot weeds, so count your blessings.

I'm back w/another question. The pink is changing into a deep red, so how do I know if I have Miss Huff, or Camara, or .. ? I hate to be so stupid but I can't tell. I'm trying to figure out where to plant them and I read there were lots of varieties - hopefully someone can shorten the list for me. TIA -
