From Michigan State University Extension: As a grower or retailer, you are well aware of downy mildew that became widespread in Michigan landscapes last year (2012).

Michigan State University Extension has developed Alternatives to Impatiens, a consumer-friendly website that briefly explains the potential problems with impatiens plantings and gives a whole host of alternatives to impatiens.
The website is offered in two formats: a traditional website and a mobile-optimized website. In addition, the mobile-optimized website can be accessed on smartphones by scanning the QR code in Figure 1.
