Hey gunnysack. If you look on page 3 under the heading 'Have way too many seed left'. Terrigal has impatiens balsam for sase.

I have had ornamental Jewelweed here for about 15 years. It is very invasive but is quite atractive if you have the right spot for it. I planted it out back of our old drive shed between the building and a gravel laneway. It is on the north side and grows at least 8-10 feet tall in almost full shade. You can't get your hand around many of the stems. It hides our fuel tank and my husbands shelf of old scrap iron so it serves a purpose here. It did spread somewhat more last year but it is very easy to pull out when small. The lawn mower gets rid of what grows in the grass although I don't remember much ever growing there and the rototiller gets rid of some in an old garden I have behind the shed. It is cool looking and I haven't tired of it yet. But you do need the right spot and a big one at that!

They germinate like crazy in my damp spot by hose, around hydrangeas! Damp soil, and I think seeds need to sit on top for light, to germinate. They are easy to pull out, so I have just a few plants, flowered last month, but re-budded now. So if I get seeds, I'll bring to fall swap. If not, seedlings for you in spring for sure. My first plant was given to me by a fellow gardener, who pulled out a handfull from her garden, stuck them in grocery bag, and I repotted limp, lifeless things 5 hrs later - half revived. I think wet is the key. They sure are pretty for natives.
