It suddenly became cold, and flowers from summer, Impatiens and Sanpachins, which had been blooming well until now, were killed overnight. If it was a potted plant, I would take shelter inside the house, but since I planted it in the ground, I tried covering it with newspaper to protect it from the cold, but that was not possible. In winter, the number of flowers that bloom is limited.
