Glorious Balsam

Balsam commonly called Lady’s Slipper comes from the Balsaminaceae family and is related to Impatiens. Originally from the tropical South East Asia, China, Hawaii and the Philippines, Balsam made its way to Europe, North America and the Caribbean with early travellers. Lady’s Slipper is a Victorian Garden favourite which is a colourful, carefree annual with semi-double or fully double, frilly flowers that does well in the tropics and the Caribbean. These plants have thick, soft stems and medium spiky-edged with light green leaves.
