KMS Woodworks on Sep 20, 2012I think a lot of it has to due with how the plants are cared for. Here is a great article to check out http://e-gro.org/pdf/Bulletin_1-8_Impatiens_Downy_Mildew.pdfHelpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Sep 21, 2012The disease is still around, Alice. But you won't have to worry about it if you plant New Guinea impatiens instead. You might want to check out this article from the Palm Beach County Cooperative Extension Service. It lists fungicides available to homeowners if you do see signs of mildew (and act quickly if you do): http://palmbeachcountyextension.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/downy-mildew-on-impatiens-2-2-2012.pdfHelpful Reply
