Yellow Pimpernel

Yellow Pimpernel is a perennial forb that typically grows 1 to 3 feet tall and features finely divided, fern-like leaves that create a light and airy texture in the garden. From late spring to early summer, it produces small, bright yellow flowers in flat-topped clusters that resemble umbels. These flowers are not only visually appealing but also attract a variety of pollinators, including bees and butterflies, making it an excellent choice for ecological gardens and native plantings. Yellow pimpernel thrives in well-drained, loamy soils and prefers full sun to partial shade, making it versatile for various garden settings including borders, meadow gardens, and naturalized areas.

• Prefers moderate moisture; water regularly, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil evenly moist.
• Minimal pruning is required. Deadheading may encourage a longer blooming period and prevent self-seeding if not desired.
• Thrives best in well-drained, fertile loam but is adaptable to a range of soil types.
• Apply a layer of organic mulch to retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and enhance soil health.
• Monitor for pests and diseases, though it is generally low-maintenance and robust against common garden challenges.
