I don't think there will be as many next year because these won't reseed, but honestly they had gotten out of hand...(in my opinion) Flowers are like hair, just because you can grow it to the ground doesn't make it ...» -

There's no cure. But the disease does not affect New Guinea impatiens, only the more common type. -
A new opportunity to try other shade lovers, lots of colorful foliage for shade and Torenia also known as clown flower does well. -
These were from plants that have reseeded in the yard for year after year. Thanks Walter, I'll check out the link Erica-I'll pass these suggestions along to them as well.
