Yellow Pimpernel (Taenidia integerrima)

$5.00
Out of Stock

Yellow Pimpernel is rarely seen in cultivation. This is unfortunate because it gives a nice little pop of yellow through the heat of early summer and the flowers attract many insects. The leaves feed the caterpillars of the Black Swallowtail, so can be used in the home landscape to support this beautiful butterfly (nwf.org). An added bonus is that deer tend to avoid this plant.
