Iowa State University Extension describes *I. walleriana* as performing best in moist, well-drained soil in partial shade; filtered sun or morning sun with afternoon shade is suitable. Water beds during dry weather, and check containers frequently, watering when the soil surface is dry. See Iowa State’s [growing guide](https://yardandgarden.extension.iastate.edu/how-to/growing-impatiens-home-garden) for home-garden guidance. ## Disease awareness Garden impatiens are susceptible to downy mildew, which can cause yellowing and leaf drop before plants collapse. The Wisconsin Horticulture [downy mildew guide](https://hort.extension.wisc.edu/articles/impatiens-downy-mildew/) explains the disease and its spread. ## Maintenance Inspect foliage regularly. If downy mildew symptoms appear, remove affected plants with their roots, seal them in a bag, and discard them rather than composting them.
