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.
Growing impatiens from seed is a good way to save money if you like to plant flats and flats of these popular annuals. The ideal time to start is eight to 10 weeks before the last frost in your area. Fill seed flats with a sterile seed-starting mix that you have moistened.
