Impatiens Morsei

Impatiens morsei is a subtropical plant from the Balsam family. Mature plants could form a bushy shrub, often not higher than 50 cm. The species produces several succulent, almost transparent stems that have a purple shine. Leaves are velvet and have a deep green base color. The veins are bright pink which gives a strong contrast with the leaves. In between the leaves, white flowers are formed. Flowers are bag-shaped and show a red and yellow pattern in the core, which makes it look like the flower of an orchid. Similar to many other species within this family, fruits could ‘explode’ as seed dispersal mechanism. This plant is propagated by cuttings or harvesting and sowing seeds
