Common name scarlet pimpernel Family myrsinaceae Life cycle annual Flowers orange-red (spring-summer) Bright green foliage, darling little orange-red flowers - it's hard to pull this one up sometimes. But it does seed itself around, so it's gotta get the heave-ho. I've seen marvellous photos of established plants just covered in flowers - but ours never get that far.

This is a weed in our garden
