I have ten minutes while I wait for others to get off their rear ends so...

Just say no to Impatiens. At least lately in PA. I gave up on them about ten years ago. Even my shadier areas are getting sunnier plants that can take heat blasts.

If you must say yes, give them more sun than you think you should; part sun, keep slightly moist, watch for root rot. Those look like they aren't getting enough light.
