Himalayan Balsam - Bad or Good?

They were called impatiens glanduli fera and came in red or white. I got a packet of both.
In small letters it says , common name Himalayan balsam,

There are a new blue color balsam species from Himalaya. I bought seeds last year from Britain, but I did not get any plants.

Could of been fake seeds, maybe not even seeds at all.

Something like this sold as coloured HB seed.http://www.thevanillavalley.co.uk/g...MI0Puyzc2w2gIVL7ftCh1dPQ4OEAQYASABEgKwLPD_BwE

Like that natural wax/honey ratio.

When you are natural beekeeper,
ratio is 0-3.5 kg. When you are productive beekeeper, ratio is 6-15 kg.

Interesting, thanks.
Amazing they are able to sell it, but it does introduces 2 new colour variations on the common blue..

It's not illegal to plant it - just illegal to alow it to spread outside your own property.

Sweet thanks for the heads up. I bought some seeds from America so assume its the correct variety... not the british one

Throw them away, please. It doesn’t belong here and endangers our already precarious insect wildlife.
