    Does anyone know anything about Impatiens Campanulata? I have been told that it does not grow in the wild anymore and that it is hard to grow? Can it be grown in Central Florida? If so, how? Need help quickly so I don't kill it!

    Can we see a photo of the flowers and the plant? I can find very little under that name, but sometimes plants are mislabled or the name is mis-remembered ;)

    Impatiens are generally an annual and can grow just about anywhere during the summer. They are only perennial in zones 10 and 11.
    Some Impatiens will take sun and some need shade. I would opt for keeping it in part shade until you find out exactly which one it is.

    At this point I don't have a picture because it is being shipped from Kansas City but when it comes I'll try to get a picture. Sorry :oops:
