description_en: Genus of about 20 species of low-growing or creeping annuals and ever-green perennials, occurring in open meadows, bogs, and dry sites in the Mediterranean and W. Europe. The opposite or alternate leaves (occasionally borne in threes) are entire and smooth, with very short or no leaf-stalks. The solitary, bell-shaped to open saucer-shaped flowers, each with 5 petals, are produced from the leaf axils. Easily cultivated, pimpernels provide colourful ground cover for a rock garden or the front of a border. A. tenella ’Studland’ is also an excellent specimen for growing in pans in an alpine house.
