Buzzy lizzy 'Accent White' (Impatiens walleriana 'Accent White')

Buzzy lizzy 'Accent White'

Also known as: Impatiens, Buzzy Lizzy

Instead of boasting the traditional red, pink, or magenta blooms of typical ornamental Impatiens, the buzzy lizzy 'Accent White' has a pure white flower. The "accent" in the cultivar name ("Accent White") comes from the fact that these flowers are often used to complement other, more colorful blooms within a garden. But these vigorous spring and summer bloomers look plenty good on their own too, especially in shady regions of gardens.
