help. these two flowers are supposed to be

[chickenreyna]

In the same class.. petunias.
Petunia

The first one pictured does excellent in the sun but the second is not wanting to grow in the sun or shade ..can anyone help me with pointers for photo of the second flower pictured?

I am a second year newbie to gardening. Lol...

They both look like Impatience to me. The second one ought to do best in shade.

The leaves are clearly shaped differently so i am thinking they are not the same class of flower back to proper upkeep for this kind of flower pictured here again:!

Thank you.

Sorry I spelled it wrong. Impatiens usually does best in shade, but there is a variety called New Guinea Impatiens which prefers full sun or part-shade. As you have noticed, the leaves are different. These are annuals by the way.

Ok. Thanks for responding: ) i am desperate to keep some alive after a pocket gopher gobbled down most of my collection lol

Definitely not petunias, the second one is Impatiens and is an annual unless you have a greenhouse to keep it in. The first is interesting and is also, I think, an Impatiens but I am not 100% certain with that lovely leaf structure.

Hi chickenreyna!
You definitely have a impatient. More shade the better like everyone says.
The other is a vinca. Not impressed with this little plant unless it's in Mass plantings. Slow grower, full to part sun.
Hope your gopher let them alone for you! this post is probably to litto little to late I realized just now.
