Anagallis arvensis
Scarlet Pimpernel
'Scarlet Pimpernel' is low-growing, annual wild flower naturalised nearly worldwide. The European plant is considered to be a weed. The small orange-red flower opens only in the sunshine - hence many of the weather-related common names. It can be a Winter annual, but us usually a Summer annual. Very occasionally it is a perennial. It self-seeds quite readily

Flowering
From Late Spring TO Early Autumn
Flowers appear from late Spring to early Autumn. The flowers open only in sunshine.
Planting
From Early Spring TO Mid Spring
Generally, as this is considered a weed, planting information would not be required! However, it would be planted in light , free-draining soil in a very sunny position (it will not grow in shade) in Spring
