Jewel weed is related to impatiens and the stems are very fragile.
It grows wild, but I have NEVER seen it in a garden store.
There is one packet of seeds left on Ebay..it is currently at 3.65 with six bids.
She says it is her last packet for sale.
You could just hike around and dig some up. I use wet newspapers for foraging this way. Typically jewelweed grows along the water.
I had one volunteer into a container, that I brought home last year. It grew
enormously in that 15 inch container. (they love rich soil). This year many
babies self seeded into my front garden, and I just ripped them out !! sorry.
This plant grows on our shore. And the deer love to eat them, and
the hummers love the flowers. Do you want me to bring some back for you?
I can try to get seeds for you... don't know if I will be successful tho.
