Impatiens arguta

Impatiens arguta is a semi-shrubby perennial reaching heights of approximately 2 feet (60 cm) and spans 3 to 4 feet (90 to 120 cm) wide. It features delicate red stems that are adorned with mid-green, elliptic leaves, finely serrated along the edges and 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) in length. The plant is distinguished by its unique 2 inch (5 cm) long trumpet-shaped blooms, showcasing a mottled violet corolla, flaring violet petals, and a distinct orange-yellow speckled white throat. The blooms possess a peculiar, hook-shaped yellow spur and are suspended on slender petioles below the foliage, presenting themselves mostly within the interior of the plant.
