IMPATIENS CAPENSIS. North American woodland annual with distinctive
orange-yellow pendant-like flowers. The juice or freshly crushed leaves are very
effective for the treatment for poison ivy. When applied liberally to affected
skin, jewelweed goes to work almost immediately to soothe and help to reduce the
itchy rash caused by poison ivy’s irritant oils. The juice can be added to soap
recipes to make very effective poison ivy-fighting soaps. Jewelweed often grows
in the same area as poison ivy but why not grow a patch of jewelweed just to be
sure? Prefers moist, shady locations with rich soil. Seeds require cold to
germinate; best sown outdoors in autumn to come up in the spring. It reseeds
itself, becoming more or less permanent over the years. Height: 1 m (3-4 ft.).
Please order only in the Fall!
Needs to only be sown in FALL or Winter (October, November, & December).
Price: $5.00/pkt
