New Guinea Impatiens

Hi,
I planted some New Guinea Impatiens in pots a few weeks ago and they are not looking very well (see photos). Is this simply because it was still quite cold in April, or could there be another underlying problem?

looking forward to reading your wise opinions.

 

I feel their pain,

Looks like the usual problem.
The plants needed hardening off before planting out.

Looks like they have been frosted to me.

 

Too early for putting outside, they are not as hardy as the usual Impatiens, grown at higher temperatures and dislike cold. Most outside in garden Centres look like this.

If at all possible get them inside for a couple of weeks of convalescence; they may recover

New Guinea is a warm humid country

 

If the top growth looks like that I would imagine the roots look just as bad.
The plants will have been checked.
IMO they are not worth spending the next month or probably more trying to get them to look half decent.
