Impatiens is being sold. Are they safe this year? How can I tell if they have downy mildew? If I plant them and they were infected how could I rid the soil of downy mildew?
Answer
Impatiens are still a problem and should not be planted. The alternatives suggested
are New Guinea impatiens or Sunpatiens.
It is recommended that you do not plant impatiens for several years in an area infested
with downy mildew.
