Water Pimpernel (Samolus ebracteatus) is a delicate yet resilient perennial wildflower that thrives in wet environments, adding subtle beauty to sunlit landscapes. Standing only 1-2 inches tall, this low-growing plant produces charming white-to-pink flowers that bloom throughout the year, ensuring continuous visual appeal. Flourishing in alkaline, inundated organic, calcareous soil, it is well-suited to marshes, wetlands, and other consistently moist areas.
Water Pimpernel is a self-pollinating species, but its blossoms also draw bees and butterflies, making it a valuable addition to pollinator-friendly gardens. Ideal for water gardens or naturalized settings, this hardy wildflower brings effortless charm and ecological benefits to any space.
