I love these large "Fusion Glow Yellow Exotic" Impatiens. Because of their size I find it difficult to find the right place to plant them. Here is a picture of one of mine taken today. (almost 3 feet across and approaching 1.5 feet in height!)

Beautiful. Do they get Impatiens Downy Mildew, do you know?

That is an excellent question and I so hope they are 'immune'. I suspect this may be the case as I have a large container of the 'garden variety' impatiens which all have severe wilt ('downy mildew'?) located about 15 feet away for my two fusion impatiens and so far no problem.

Nice! I've not seen these for sale in my area - did you grow them from seed or purchase the plants?

Fusion impatiens are susceptible to impatiens downy mildew.

Well then I am luck (so far) as many of impatiens (walleriana) not far away from them are falling by the wayside.

Hope I'm correct with this: removal of impatiens affected by downy mildew recommended, including leaves/blossoms that have dropped to the ground. By removal, I mean stuffed in a bag and disposed of. Sorry, not enough time right now to add a link.
