Impatiens sodenii is a species of flowering plant in the family Balsaminaceae. It is native to Kenya and Tanzania and is widely cultivated as an ornamental plant. It is a subshrub growing up to 1.5 meters tall with succulent, woody stems and whorls of up to 12 lance-shaped leaves. The flowers are white or pink, sometimes with darker markings, and measure up to 5 centimeters in width. Several cultivars have been bred, including the white-flowered 'Madonna', 'Flash' with white flowers with pink markings, and 'La Vida Rosa' with deeper pink markings. This plant is used as an ornamental garden shrub and has escaped cultivation in New Zealand, where it has become a weed. It has also naturalized in a few areas in Western Australia and New South Wales, and is documented as an introduced species in the Canary Islands, Hawaii, and Colombia.
