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

Re: Balsam
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..
