Every year I purchase Busy Lizzies and Impatiens Don't mind the cost really but would love to be able to save them tell me how to do it please.

Answer:

Unfortunately you won't be able to save your busy lizzies. Being annuals they will naturally day after one season regardless of how you look after them. What you can do is propagate from your existing stock. Cut off a good sized stem (3-4 inches should do) Trim just below the lowest node (the small bump below a leaf) Remove all leaves, except for those at the tip Dip the end of the stem in rooting hormone powder Plant 4-5 cuttings to a small pot and keep on a window sill or heated greenhouse Protect from frost and don't over water They should be ready to move into individual pots in Spring Plant out after all risk of frost has passed.
