There is no doubt that the Balsam plant, which is also called Impatiens balsamina or thum-the-five-folds, is undoubtedly an annual flowering plant that originates from Southeast Asia. It is a trendy ornamental garden plant because of its striking and vivid flowers that vary in colors, such as pink, purple, red, and white.

Light: Balsam likes shady and damp soil, which is why it fits perfectly into garden beds, borders, or containers in spots that have filtered light. 

Appearance: The standard size for these beautiful plants is between 2-3 feet tall, which can bring some colors to any garden setting.

Blooming period: Growing balsam seeds indoors in the garden reaches the maximum development since the dangers of frost have already passed. Balsam nurseries are common in garden centers, and you can always find young plants planted at the beginning of the growth period.

Plant Food: To facilitate the complementary development and blooming of your flowers, you need to put some slow-release fertilizer or organic compost into the soil to make it more fertile. Correcting soil conditions and ensuring it is well-moistened will help the Balsams flower from mid-summer until autumn, adding a splash of color to your home environment.

There is no difference between whether you are an experienced or a novice gardener. Growing Balsam plants can help you stay in the beauty and joy all year long. It depends only on your own decision.
