Introduce delicate, native charm to your pond or bog garden with Anagallis tenella, commonly known as Bog Pimpernel. This low-growing hardy perennial forms a lush carpet of tiny evergreen leaves that spread across damp soil or shallow water margins. From late spring to midsummer, it produces a dainty display of cup-shaped, dusky pink flowers, which open fully only in bright sunlight—making it a rewarding feature for sunny, moisture-rich planting schemes. Anagallis tenella is perfectly suited to boggy borders, marshy areas, or Zones 1 & 2 of wildlife ponds. It thrives with very little maintenance, and its creeping habit offers excellent ground cover around pond edges while softening hard landscaping. As a UK native species, it integrates beautifully into naturalistic or wildlife-friendly garden designs, enhancing biodiversity and seasonal interest. How to Grow Instructions: Light: Full sun is essential for flowers to open fully. Temperature:Hardy throughout the UK; no winter protection required. Watering: Keep soil boggy or plant just at water level in shallow margins. Feeding: Does not require additional feeding. Humidity: Thrives in wet or waterlogged conditions; ideal for high-humidity sites. Images shown are for guidance only and show the expected results of plants upon maturity.
