Flower colors include shades of orange, pink, red, white, and purple, with blooms similar to, but larger than, those of common impatiens. The flowers of New Guinea impatiens consist of five heart-shaped petals. This plant makes a perfect addition to a pollinator garden, as the blooms attract butterflies and other beneficial insects.
