In all fairness to others here, the yellow impatien is a relatively new cultivar and they may not have heard of it. It has only been on the market a short while and is not commonly stocked in nurseries. I would have said the same thing last year until I saw one. It is a separate variety and color, that can only be started from cuttings. I grow my Impatiens from seed, mainly because I got tired of fighting spider mites.

Consider yourself lucky you have one and don't put others down because they have never heard of it. I pray the spider mites stay away from your plant

I agree. Yellow impatiens are relatively new. I have been growing mine for several years and making new cuttings every so often. I think the name of mine is "fusion". It is a canary yellow with an orange eye.

yes, i too have the new yellow ones,and love them. they are by far doing the best of all of mine, pretty hearty. they really pop. i'm starting cuttings now and hope to bring them in over winter and see how they do.

My mom and I found a lone yellow impatien put in the middle of a bunch of red ones yesterday at a favorite nursery of mine and bought it. I told her I would take a few cuttings from it and she could take the mother plant back home to Michigan with her. I hope I can get them to root. I have never seen a yellow impatien before. I've read they are easy to root, much like a coleus, which are easy for me.
