    Hi Rob,

    Did you have too much rain? Did you have no rain and a lot of heat? Did you have frost? Do they have a fungal growth? Do they have a disease? Any one of those can make something happen to impatience. Here's a list of diseases that can happen as well. Wishing you the best. -Linda

    Hi there. Cindy here. Impatiens like very moist soil and full shade. Did you have a really hot summer like us? If so, lack of water could be the answer here. Try mixing one tablespoon of Epson Salt and a gallon of water. Pour this solution on the soil at the base of your impatiens. Then give them even more water. The extra water will help the roots receive the Epson Salt. By doing this, you are adding enzymes back in the soil. Plants flourish with this and it might bring the impatiens back. You can repeat every 2 weeks. I hope this helps.
