About This

• Oenothera laarckiana, or Evening Primrose, is a popular wild flower seed that looks lovely in a naturalized setting or growing along a fence line. This variety has large, 2 inch blooms of yellow that are sweetly scented and attract bees and butterflies.
• The flowers open in the late afternoon and into the evening. Evening Primrose is a liberal self-sower. If reseeding is not desired, deadhead the spent blooms before they go to seed. Grows 24 - 48 inches tall as an annual plant.
• Start Evening Primrose seed directly outdoors in either the fall or early spring. Prepare a seedbed that has had the top 2 inches loosened and is weed free. Cover lightly with 1/16 inch of soil. Keep the seed moist. With a temperature range of 65 – 70F, germination is usually in 30 days
• Space the plants 18 - 24 inches apart. Grow Primrose in full sun and in well-drained soil. Primrose usually is resistant to deer.
