To collect seeds from impatiens, wait for the seed pods to turn brown and start to split open. Remove the pods from the plant and allow them to dry completely. Once dry, gently open the pods and collect the seeds for storage.
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.
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.
Impatiens flowers produce seeds through a process called pollination, where pollen from the male anthers of the flower fertilizes the female ovary. After successful fertilization, the ovary develops into a seed pod, which eventually bursts open when the seeds are mature, dispersing them into the surrounding environment. This method of seed production allows for the propagation of new plants, ensuring the continuation of the species.
Impatiens seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days when kept in a warm and moist environment. Some varieties may take longer, but most should sprout within two weeks. Be sure to provide consistent moisture and indirect light to support germination.
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.

New Guinea impatiens are primarily grown as ornamental plants and are often propagated through cuttings rather than seeds. While they can produce seeds, the seeds are typically not viable or reliable for propagation, and the plants are usually bred for their vibrant flowers and growth habits rather than for seed production. Consequently, gardeners usually prefer to use cuttings to maintain the desirable characteristics of the parent plant.

You can collect the seeds.
Impatiens platypetala was created in 1846.
Bombus impatiens was created in 1863.
Impatiens hawkeri was created in 1886.
Coprinellus impatiens was created in 1821.
Yes, balsam plants can grow from seeds. These seeds are typically small and can be sown directly into the soil or started indoors before being transplanted outdoors once they have developed into seedlings.
