Pale Jewelweed

Pale Jewelweed (Impatiens pallida) is an annual forb or herb native to the eastern United States and southeastern Canada. It thrives in moist environments with light to partial sun and can be found across a wide range including Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, and more. Known for its edible parts—leaves, seeds, and shoots—it is also valued for its ornamental qualities. This plant grows up to 1.5 meters in height and prefers soils that are light (sandy), medium, or heavy (clay) with a pH between 6.8 and 7.4. Its distinctive feature lies in its pale pink to white flowers, which contrast beautifully with the vibrant jewelweed species.
