25 Jewelweed Seeds (Impatiens capensis) – Touch-Me-Not Wildflower & Traditional Herbal Plant
Bring the beauty of nature to your garden with these 25 Jewelweed Seeds, also known as Impatiens capensis or “Touch-Me-Not.” A beloved North American native wildflower, jewelweed produces cheerful orange, spotted blooms that brighten shady corners and attract hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies all summer long.
Why Grow Jewelweed?
Medicinal Heritage – Traditionally valued in folk herbalism as a natural, skin-soothing plant.
Pollinator Favorite – Hummingbirds, butterflies, and native bees love its nectar-rich flowers.
Easy to Grow – Thrives in moist, rich soil with partial shade; perfect for woodland gardens, stream banks, or shady flower beds.
Natural Charm – Known for its fun seed pods that “pop” when touched, delighting kids and gardeners alike.
Self-Sowing – Once established, jewelweed will reseed itself for blooms year after year.
Traditional Herbal Use
For generations, jewelweed has been cherished in folk herbalism and by foragers as a natural companion plant. Indigenous peoples and traditional healers often used it as a skin-soothing herb in outdoor settings. Today, many herbal gardeners grow jewelweed not only for its beauty and pollinator value, but also to keep a useful, time-honored plant close at hand.
