Pimpernel Scarlet seeds can be planted directly outdoors in spring, or for early flowering, the Anagallis Monelli seeds started indoors 8-10 weeks before last frost. Another common name of this plant is Poor Man's Weather-Glass, and Anagallis Monelli Scarlet is low-growing and spreading plant that blooms all summer and fall long with masses of highly attractive, small, saucer-shaped scarlet-red flowers.
