Common Jewelweed - Seeds
Impatiens capensis
Also known as Spotted Touch-Me-Not, this unique native plant is famous for its fun, spring-loaded seed pods that burst open at the slightest touch, sending seeds flying. Its translucent stems release a slightly sticky juice when crushed, offering relief for itching caused by stings, rashes, or poison ivy. In late summer, dangling spotted orange flowers attract hummingbirds, making it a lively addition to any moist garden area. Jewelweed thrives in a wide range of climates as long as the soil remains moist to wet. While it readily self-seeds, it’s easily managed and pulled if it begins to spread too far.
