200 Seeds Evening Primrose Heirloom Yellow Flower Garden Planting

Evening Primrose is a hardy biennial wildflower known for its bright, lemon-yellow blooms that open in the late afternoon and evening, adding a soft glow to borders, meadows, and wildflower gardens. Its cheerful flowers and easy-going nature make it a favorite for informal plantings and naturalized areas.
This heirloom selection works well in cottage gardens, pollinator-friendly landscapes, and meadow mixes, where its luminous blooms appear through summer into early fall. Plants form basal rosettes the first year and send up tall flowering stems the next, thriving in lean, well-drained soils with minimal care.
