Impatiens Athena Seeds – Compact Shade-Loving Plants with Continuous Blooms
Impatiens Athena is a bedding plant variety grown for its ability to produce large numbers of flowers in partially shaded locations. Unlike many annual flowers that require full sunlight, Athena performs well in bright shade, making it suitable for balconies, courtyards, patios, and garden areas that receive limited direct sun.
The plants develop a compact, branching habit and quickly become covered with blooms, creating a colorful display throughout the growing season.

Growing Guide
Sow seeds on the surface of a fine seed-starting medium. Do not cover deeply because seeds require light for germination.

Once plants develop several true leaves, transplant them into containers or flower beds enriched with organic matter.
