Impatiens capensis
Jewelweed or touch-me-not is a tall annual that grows in moist areas, usually along the banks of streams, rivers and ponds. The leaves are somewhat toothed and blue-green in color. Raindrops tend to bead up on the leaves, giving it a “bejeweled” appearance in sunshine.
The trumpet-like or funnel-shaped flowers are yellowish-orange with spots of darker orange in the throat. (There is also an all-yellow variety, so see the gallery.) The flower terminates in a delightful twist toward the back of the trumpet.
The name “touch-me-not” comes from the observation that ripe seeds of this plant will explode with a quick “pop” when prodded by a touch. Who can’t admire that special quality?
Jewelweed has been used as an herbal remedy to relieve the irritation caused by poison ivy, stinging nettle, and bee stings.

These are blooming and just beautiful here in Manassas, VA. We love them!
We had these growing by the creekside on our property. The first summer we lived here I would get up as the sun was rising and stand quietly on a stump in the midst of the jewel weed. And every morning the hummingbirds would come to visit the tiny trumpets. There were so many birds I literally couldn’t count them all. They seemed oblivious to my presence and it was such a great joy to me to be a witness to this! Time to reconnect, refocus and recharge my spirit daily.
So, if you want hummingbirds, and you have water. Jewelweed is a beautiful treasure. 😊
Love this image of you welcoming the hummingbirds. I have a stream lined with Jewelweed near my home. I’m going to try this!
