How to Grow and Care for False pimpernels

These plants reach a maximum height of 5 to 20 cm. The biological form is scapose therophyte (T scap), which means that they are herbaceous plants that differ from other biological forms in that, being annuals, they survive adverse seasons in the form of seeds and have an erect floral axis that is often without leaves.

Yellowseed false pimpernel (Lindernia dubia), also known as moist bank pimpernel, grows throughout North and South America. It grows in moist habitats, usually at the edges of ponds, rivers, and meadows. It reaches about 30 cm in height and sprouts mostly tubular flowers.

Baby tear is a petite aquatic or semi-aquatic perennial herb notable for its rounded leaves which often float on water. Its delicate blue to violet flowers bear a distinguishing two-lipped corolla, with the lower lip marked by darker streaks. Thriving in moist, shaded habitats, baby tear adapts well to a range of light conditions, making it a resilient addition to water gardens and aquariums.

Lindernia conferta is a slender aquatic or semi-aquatic plant, thriving in moist environments. Its small, delicate flowers bloom in a range of pastel colors and are distinguished by a bilateral symmetry, indicative of the Linderniaceae family. The foliage of lindernia conferta is typically green, its leaves narrow and sometimes slightly toothed, often forming dense clusters that contribute to its bushy appearance. The plant's adaptive characteristics enable it to colonize damp habitats, promoting water conservation and tolerance to fluctuating water levels.

Savannah false pimpernel is distinguished by its large, vivid blooms that are often a draw for pollinators. Typically found in moist habitats, its robust flowers are supported by slender stems with small, green leaves. The environment's dampness contributes to its lush appearance, enhancing its sprawling growth pattern. Savannah false pimpernel's charm is truly its showy flowers, a beautiful adaptation that enables it to attract various pollinators in its native ecosystem.
