Impatiens flanaganae, native to South Africa is an endangered perennial rather rare large, non-hardy species. They prefer a humus and airy soil mixture in which they quickly grow into sturdy plants with thick reddish stems that can reach 1.25 to 1.50 m tall. Only late in the year do the rather large butterfly-like pink flowers form. Together with the large leaves, up to more than 20 cm long, they form a beautifully exotic whole.
