Yellow pimpernel is a delicate woodland creeper that produces small star-shaped yellow flowers and prefers shaded, moist environments. It thrives along stream banks, woodland edges, and shaded garden borders where soil remains consistently damp. Plant in part shade with humus-rich, moisture-retentive soil for best results.
