Primrose – Evening
Price range: $2.50 through $22.00
The Evening Primrose (Oenothera biennis) is a charming wildflower known for its fragrant blooms that open in the evening and close by morning, filling your garden with delicate beauty after sunset. This species is less aggressive than other primroses, making it ideal for controlled garden plantings.
Evening Primrose thrives in full sun and well-drained soils and is tolerant of high soil acidity. In USDA Zones 7–10, it can be planted in either spring or fall, while in cooler regions, spring planting is recommended. Its evening-blooming habit and elegant, long-lasting flowers make it a perfect choice for borders, wildflower gardens, and pollinator-friendly landscapes.
