New website helps consumers choose impatiens alternatives

From Michigan State University Extension: As a grower or retailer, you are well aware of downy mildew that became widespread in Michigan landscapes last year (2012). But what can you tell your consumers? Michigan State University Extension has developed Alternatives to Impatiens, a consumer-friendly website that briefly explains the potential problems with impatiens plantings and gives a whole host of alternatives to impatiens.

The website is offered in two formats: a traditional website and a mobile-optimized website. In addition, the mobile-optimized website can be accessed on smartphones by scanning the QR code in Figure 1.
