{"title":"Balsam Seeds","description":"Old-fashioned in the most romantic way, the Southeast Asia native balsam has been a favorite in the US since the turn of the 20th century. Take a cue from Victorian gardeners, who would remove some leaves to better display the camellia-like blossoms.","products":[{"product_id":"balsam-mix-prod000129","title":"Mix Balsam","description":"While today's impatiens, a shade-loving hybrid of African species, was virtually unknown in gardens until after World War II, balsam, which is native to Southeast Asia, was a well-known favorite by 1900. Balsam grows well in both sun and shade, and we recommend areas with some protection from afternoon sun. It sprouts in only 4-5 days and flowers early, growing to be 12-24\" tall. The narrow plants hold their blooms close to the central stem. Victorian gardeners removed some leaves to better display the 2\" across, perfection pink, camellia-like blossoms.","brand":"Burpee.com","offers":[{"title":"75 Seeds","offer_id":45869491879970,"sku":"43018A","price":3.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0797\/3951\/9010\/files\/c7a9fabff922f355f9a67d2ad2ef08fdf9dc01e6.jpg?v=1786734528"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0797\/3951\/9010\/collections\/c7a9fabff922f355f9a67d2ad2ef08fdf9dc01e6.jpg?v=1782906058","url":"https:\/\/www.burpee.com\/collections\/balsam.oembed","provider":"Burpee Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
