Brook-pimpernel is an aquatic or semi-aquatic perennial that thrives along stream banks, pond margins, and in consistently wet soils. Plant it in a sunny to partly shaded spot and keep the roots wet at all times, as it does not tolerate drought. It is an ideal choice for water gardens, rain gardens, and naturalizing wet areas.
