Impatiens balsamina is a true annual and it will not survive over winter. The good news is that they are fairly easy to transplant. You might be able to move it in till it flowers and collect seed then the plant may start to die off by spring. But you will have fresh seed to start again.

Thank you :-) Since I posted this Tiny flower buds have appeared...If the weather holds I hoping to see what the flowers will look like. I would like to try saving the plant for next year and will try transplanting it into a pot to bring in for the Winter.

I dug up my balsamina and brought them in. Some haven't flowered yet and some are just starting to bloom. They are doing well. Hope you have good luck with yours, too

I know you can dig up geranium plants, knock the dirt off roots, trim back, store in hanging position in a cool/dark place where they won't freeze and then replant in Spring and they will do just fine. My question is can this be done with New Guinea Impatiens?
Thanks for your time.

Zonal geraniums originated in Europe and Asia where they have winter and plants go dormant for the cold weather. Impatiens originated in tropical countries where there is no winter and therefore no need to go dormant.

Given the differences. In my opinion your Impatiens would likely die.

You can grow Impatiens inside and take cuttings from them

Cutting need to come from younger plants. They may root but they don't grow well if they have come from adult full season plants.
