Impatiens ‘Parrot Beak’ – 15cm Nursery Pot

The Indoor Plant Impatiens Parrot Beak, is a plant with succulent organs, exhibiting strange hooked flowers that resemble bicolored parrot beaks , red and yellow. As ornamental as it is delicate, it will flower indoors or on the veranda throughout the year, or from summer to autumn in open ground. Its rapid growth allows it to be grown as an annual.

This plant produces bright and colourful bird-shaped flowers (hence the common names Congo cockatoo and parrot plant) with a long, curled nectar spur. These unusual flowers vary in colour and size, but those of the clone most common in cultivation in Europe and America (‘African Princess’) are usually scarlet red and yellow and can reach a length of about 3.5 centimeters

Parrot Impatiens or Impatiens niamniamensis, are often considered non-toxic. But, excessive consumption of their foliage can lead to gastrointestinal issues in pets. While a nibble here and there might not cause harm, a dog’s feast on these plants could lead to an upset stomach.
