Evening Primrose (Oenothera biennis)
A charming and beneficial addition to any garden, Evening Primrose is a hardy biennial that blooms with luminous yellow flowers that open in the late afternoon and glow into the night. Loved by pollinators, especially moths and native bees, this plant is not only beautiful but also supports local ecosystems.
Thriving in well-drained soil and full sun, it self-seeds readily and is ideal for wildflower meadows, cottage gardens, and permaculture plantings. The seeds are also valued for their oil, known for its traditional herbal uses.
