My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.
I have grown Himalayan Impatiens in my Zone 2b-3 garden for a number of years. I garden in West Central Canada(Saskatchewan) where the temperature in the Winter can reach -30F to -40F. These plants self seed and winter very well as they have no trouble germinating in the Spring. I do not need to collect seed and start them in the greenhouse. They will reach 5-6ft in a season and will grow in any location.
I live in zone 8, British Columbia, on woodland property with lots of tall trees and mostly shade in our gardens. Our lowest temperature last winter was -10c. The Impatiens glandulifera (Himalayan impatiens) self-seed all over the place every year. The seeds explode to an amazing distance away from the mother plant. You can hear the seeds landing all over the garden when the capsules explode. It's cool. The seeds overwinter on the ground and come up as new plants starting in the spring. Many of them grow up to 10' tall at our place. It grows in any type of soil but I noticed the tallest ones get afternoon shade and the soil is moister. They like it on the cool side. They're very easy to pull up if you don't want them to grow in certain areas. We let most of them grow to maturity as they have a tendency to take over dead areas where most other things won't grow. We love that plant.
