    Lack of sunlight, over fertilizing, over pruning, water and heat stress are the most common reasons for lack of flowers.
    Make sure the plants have plenty of morning light is best. A fertilizer high in nitrogen can cause lack of flowers. Withhold fertilizer for a bit or use a fertilizer designed for flowering plants.
    Pinching back plants is good to form nice compact plants, but removes buds.
    Make sure you are watering regularly and evenly. Container plants likely need daily water.
    In high heat, plants may stop blooming.

    I would suggest petunias, moss roses, marigolds or salvias?

    I myself visited a local garden center last week and fell in love with some of new varieties of petunias! The colors are amazing that they have hybridized.

    Go for a visit to the garden center and see what lovely flowers you can find for your new garden spot.

    If they simply got pounded by the rain, you can dead head and clean them up. All impatiens don't like too much water, especially on their flowers and foliage. Sunpatiens tolerate more sun than other impatiens, but they should still get a break from intense afternoon sun. This article should help

    Temperatures above 70 degrees F will cause Impatiens flowers to fade in color, especially if the stems and roots are dry.
    Keeping the plants watered daily will help retain the nice bright colors.

    Generally, yellowing of the leaves is often attributed to too much water, which can also spawn fungal infections. Back off on water and see if it helps at all. If not, the problem is likely due to a fungal infection and the plants will usually not survive. However, impatiens propagate easily so it may be possible to clip a healthy cutting (or two) and root them in case replacement of the plant is necessary.
