Late season action
To be honest, seasonal decline is very evident on the GWI property, as I begin to get bulbs in and dread the leaf onslaught to come. However, I do have plenty of annuals still going strong and some nicely coloring shrubs, as follows:
Above is Forever Pink macrophylla , which gives a nice dusty rose color as it ages.
I still have elephant ear all over the place, which I may try to overwinter. Here's Violet Stem with coleus and an interesting impatiens variety (yes, such exist!).
And the nicotiana bella is still very floriferous, as are its relatives throughout the garden.

Select Seed, which has plants, not just seeds, is good for this.

Your interesting impatiens does look interesting.
I was so deluded by the wet midsummer that I 'rescued' a marked-down Hydrangea. The rain immediately stopped after it was planted, so I'll be visiting blogs like yours to see them looking good.

Often I don't pay too much attention to these types of purchases because they're just for the season.
But we do have a good nursery here that really tries to offer cool annuals as well as everything else.
