Impatiens capensis, common name Jewelweed or Spotted Touch-me-not, flowers are about 1 & 1/4 inch long, fruits are 1 inch long slender capsules that split and propel the seeds when touched giving it the name touch-me-not. Dew often gathers in glistening drops on spotted Touch-me-not flowers giving rise to it's other common name Jewelweed. Liquid squeezed from the stems of Impatiens capensis is used to relieve the burning sensation of stinging nettle and for treatment of poison ivy.

Plant Impatiens capensis Jewelweed Spotted Touch-me-not potted plants in the spring in rich moist soil in sun or shade. One plant blooming this year will naturally reseed a small bed producing a large number of plants next year. The delightful flowers of Jewelweed are natural feeders for visiting hummingbirds.

Native Impatiens capensis Jewelweed Spotted Touch-me-not plan grows in moist low woods, bases of bluffs, and stream banks over the Midwest and eastern US. Impatiens capensis seeds need light to germinate, plant seeds on or near the soil surface and keep moist. Four weeks cool stratification may improve germination. Fresh seeds dropped on a moist flowerbed in late fall will need little care germinating in early spring and blooming in late summer/fall.
