Balsam

Post by Muhammad Arif Khan »

I planted two varieties of Balsam. I can’t find any difference in them.
I planted them after not doing so for many years, only on the assurance that the new varieties show off their flowers better.
I have decided not to plant them ever again. Frustrated as I was, I thought of removing them, then it occurred to me why not de-foliate them instead. Leaving a few leaves at the tip has done the trick, how it behaves onward is to be seen

Sir, Balsam "Tom Thumb" variety has much larger and double blooms which are more prominent than its foliage compared to this one in picture, I hope they will not disappoint you..
