 Botanical Name:
Impatiens capensis /
Family: Balsaminaceae (Balsam) / Habitat: Moist shady areas /
Height: 2-5 feet / Flower size: 1 to 1/2 inches long
Flower color: Orange / Bloom time: July to September. Jewelweed is native to
North America. The ripe seedpods pop open at a gentle touch, hence the
common name touch-me-not. This is one of my favorite flowers - the brilliant
orange is even more striking, being most often found in deep shade.
