Care and Watering
Keep Anagallis tenella in consistently moist, acidic soil—bog or peat-based mix—without letting it dry out. Water when the top feels damp and avoid standing water. In summer, provide morning sun and light shade in hot climates.
Maintenance
Trim leggy growth after flowering to encourage bushier habit. Remove spent flowers to prolong bloom. Mulch lightly to retain moisture and keep roots cool.
Location
Plant in a sunny to lightly shaded bog garden or container with a dedicated saucer for moisture. Prefer cool roots and good air flow; protect from harsh winter winds.
Tips
Use a peat-based mix, ensure container drainage, and don't let soil collapse. Propagate by cuttings in spring for a fuller display.
Anagallis tenella, the delicate pimpernel, is an elegant addition to pond edges and wetlands thanks to its fine leaves and bright flowers.
With a flowering carpet of soft pink blossoms, it creates a natural, romantic look in any water setting.
Perfect for lovers of aquatic and bog plants seeking subtle, colorful accents.
