Impatiens arguta, the toothed busy lizzie, is a species of flowering plant in the balsam family Balsaminaceae. It is native to Bhutan, Nepal, Myanmar, India and China.[1] This herbaceous perennial grows to 30 cm (12 in) tall and broad, with an erect habit. It has deeply-veined, elliptic, slightly toothed leaves. Delicate lavender-blue or pink flowers appear in summer.[2] As with other Impatiens species, the stems and leaves are succulent and fleshy.[2]
This plant is cultivated as an ornamental. Although hardy to −10 °C (14 °F), it requires a sheltered position in full or partial shade, and a protective mulch in winter. Plants may become evergreen in warmer climates.[3] It grows in moist places, forest understories and thickets.[4]
