Balsam Seeds

Too wonderful to ignore, old-fashioned balsam sports rich and varied colors and single to voluptuous rosettes of blooms. Vintage names such as Lady's Slipper, Balsamine, Jumping Betty, and Touch-Me-Not refer to the spring-loaded seedpods that split apart when touched, catapulting the seeds. Easy to grow, it blooms well in the sun or shade and revels in heat and humidity.
