Anyone remember Futura?

22 years ago

Years ago I used to grow Futura impatiens from seed I bought from Park. The flowers were larger than most, and I always had good luck with them. I think they were available in orange first, and then other colors. But I haven't seen them in ages. Someone told me they might be available in Europe... Any leads for me in the U.S.?

Thanks,

Susan

I dont know of a source here in the US. They were more than likely phased out. I you want big plants and flowers "Bruno" would be good.

They are listed at Seeds-by-Size. This is a UK outfit, but you can order for delivery to the US, finger's crossed they don't get confiscated. The listing may be old and the seeds no longer available, so drop an email to check. Or the seed might be available as old stock. Also, they are quite expensive as listed, you can probably get a top-notch modern hybrid for the same money.
