Evening Primrose - Seeds & Bare Root Plant
Oenothera biennis
Evening Primrose is one of the few biennial plants we offer at the nursery. In its first year, it forms a low-growing rosette of basal leaves, and in its second year, it takes off—reaching heights of up to six feet. It graces your garden with bright yellow flowers that uniquely open at night and close by morning. After flowering, the plant dies back but not before scattering thousands of seeds that readily germinate, ensuring a fresh start the following season.
The flowers are a haven for pollinators, especially the Primrose Moth, which often curls up inside the blooms, creating a charming nighttime scene.
Evening Primrose seeds are rich in omega-6 fatty acids, which make them a popular natural supplement for skin health and women’s wellness.
Seeds require cold stratification to germinate—read this quick article to learn how to accomplish this.
Hardiness: Zone 4-9
Soil: Well-drained, drought-tolerant
Light: Full sun to part shade
Options:
Packet of approximately 100 seeds.
Bare Root Plants can be planted into loose soil in the fall or spring and kept moist until new growth emerges.
