yellow pimpernel

Yellow pimpernel requires moderate to frequent watering. When watering this plant, it is important not to over-water it; wait until the top inch or 2 of the soil has become dry before watering again. During the spring and summer months, water this species roughly every 3–4 days. During the fall and winter months water only when the top inch or 2 of the soil has become dry. As a general rule, water only enough to keep the soil moist, but not soggy.

The yellow pimpernel (Taenidia integerrima) should receive between 4 and 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Full sun is best but this plant can tolerate partial shade. If you are growing it in a shady location, it will need a high-quality supplemental lighting to ensure it receives enough light each day. The yellow pimpernel tolerates temperatures down to 45 degrees Fahrenheit but should be protected from frosts and freezes.

For a yellow pimpernel plant (Taenidia integerrima), pruning should be done late in the winter or early in the spring. Prune back any overly long stems and any dead or diseased wood. Remove any extra stems or any branches that are crossing each other. To keep your plants from sprawling, lightly prune the growing tips of all stems once they have grown 3 to 4 inches. This will ensure even growth and bushier plants. Pruning should be done lightly since this plant responds well to it and occassionally needs it to keep its tidy mound shape.
