Jewelweed disperses its seeds through a mechanism called explosive dehiscence. When the seed pods mature and are touched or disturbed, they burst open, propelling the seeds away from the parent plant. This rapid release can send seeds several feet away, allowing for a broader distribution in the surrounding area. This adaptation helps the plant colonize new locations effectively.
