Although Pershing never caught Villa, he thoroughly disrupted his operations. Thus he became the presidentâs choice to command the American Expeditionary Force when Wilsonâs neutrality policy collapsed in the face of German intransigence and America entered World War I in April 1917.
Impatiens range from 8 inches to 2 feet tall. Many cultivars will be taller than descriptions in catalogs in hot southern summers. Heat-tolerant cultivars will remain more compact. Flowers are from 1 to 2 inches across.
SunPatiens plants are the result of hybridization between New Guinea impatiens and the common, shade-loving impatiens (I. walleriana). SunPatiens have deep-green foliage and produce masses of 2- to-3-inch wide flowers that are white, red, orange and magenta.
