Impatiens walleriana is native to eastern Africa including Mozambique and Tanzania, but have since become internationally renowned, most notably in the United States. Impatiens is far and wide the absolute most popular flower sold, grown, and cultivated in the United States for many years due in large part to its ease of culture and steady, robust flowering from spring to frost. The genus Impatiens is translated from Latin meaning “impatient” in reference to its speedy and violent seed discharge from the ripe pods. The specific epithet walleriana pays homage to 19th century British missionary Horace Waller who was considered an African writer and ardent abolitionist to the continent’s slave trade.
