East Tennessee Wildflower: Jewelweed
By Denese. Filed in East TN |
Wild Touch-Me-Not/Jewelweed
Impatiens Pallida -Pale touch-me-not, Pale jewelweed
Jewelweed is blooming now in East Tennessee and The Great Smoky Mountains, plant grows to 5 feet here in the Pawpaw Holler, mostly along the creek.
It’s stems are the best poison ivy remedy, just crush and apply –it does sting a little, but it really dries up the rash. (This is one of the first plants my children learn about.)
There is also an orange variety.
Blessings,
Denese
