New Guinea impatiens (Impatiens hawkeri) are a popular annual flower that is native to the island of New Guinea. They are known for their vibrant, trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom in a wide range of colors, including pink, red, orange, and yellow. New Guinea impatiens are relatively easy to grow and care for, making them a popular choice for gardeners of all levels.
In addition to their attractive flowers, New Guinea impatiens are also known for attracting hummingbirds. Hummingbirds are small, nectar-eating birds that are often seen hovering around flowers. They are attracted to the sweet nectar that is produced by the flowers of New Guinea impatiens. Hummingbirds play an important role in the ecosystem as pollinators, and they can also be a joy to watch as they flit around the garden.
