Epilobium montanum is a herbaceous perennial that typically reaches heights of around 70 cm. It produces open clusters of upright stems, adorned with lance-shaped, serrated leaves that are a medium green. The plant blooms with small, pale pink flowers, which are soon succeeded by elongated, slender seed pods. Initially green, these pods take on a dark red hue as they mature, eventually fading to a light brown before splitting open to disperse seeds equipped with silky tufts for wind transport.

Epilobium palustre

Epilobium parviflorum is a native perennial that typically reaches a height of around 75 cm. It commonly survives winter as a rosette of leaves and produces upright stems adorned with fine hairs. During the summer, it bears small, pale pink flowers featuring elongated, tubular ovaries. These ovaries mature into pods that burst open, allowing seeds to be carried away by silky structures that resemble parachutes.

Epilobium rigidum

Epilobium roseum is a native perennial that typically grows to around 75 cm in height. During the winter months, it often remains as a rosette of foliage. The plant features erect stems adorned with pairs of serrated leaves and produces small flowers that are white or a very light shade of pink, characterized by elongated tubular ovaries. Following the blooming period, these flowers mature into pods that burst open, allowing seeds to be released with the aid of silky parachutes.
