Impatiens, commonly known as busy lizzies, primarily disperse their seeds through a mechanism called explosive dispersal. When the seed pods mature, they dry out and build up tension, eventually bursting open to launch seeds away from the parent plant. This method helps to spread the seeds over a wider area, increasing the chances of germination in suitable environments. Additionally, seeds can also be dispersed by water, animals, or human activities.
Ripe fruits of Impatiens when touched burst suddenly. The fruit valves roll inwards and the seeds ejected with great force and get dispersed in all directions.
The scientific name for the annual flower Impatiens is Impatiens walleriana. It belongs to the family Balsaminaceae and the order Ericales.
Impatiens seeds can explode when they ripen and dry out on the plant. The seed pods burst open when touched or when they are ready to disperse their seeds, scattering them in the surrounding area for propagation.
Impatiens are typically grown as annuals in most regions, but some varieties can be perennial in zones with mild winters. In colder climates, impatiens are often replanted each year for continuous flowering.

It depends. I have found that most impatiens prefer shade, and need water, especially if they are in a pot. New Guinea impatiens can take full sun, but again, watering is very important.
Yes Impatiens are consider an annual flower. However if you live in hardiness zones 9-11, that will grow as a perennial.
