This perennial produces cup-shaped flowers that open in the evening and remain open through the morning, attracting pollinators such as moths and bees. Its silvery-green foliage and trailing habit make it an excellent choice for rock gardens, xeriscapes, and native plant meadows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePale evening primrose thrives in poor to average, well-drained soils and requires minimal water once established. It is an ideal low-maintenance plant for sunny borders, pollinator gardens, and erosion control on dry slopes. The seeds are easy to sow and will naturalize over time, returning year after year in suitable climates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduces fragrant white flowers that bloom from late spring to summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrought tolerant and deer resistant once established\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttracts pollinators including bees and moths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNative wildflower suitable for xeriscaping and naturalized areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerennial in USDA zones 4-9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oenothera pallida\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perennial wildflower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained, sandy or rocky soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low; drought tolerant once established\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright to sprawling, 12-24 inches tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA Hardiness Zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late spring to summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12-24 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGermination Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cold stratification recommended; surface sow, light required for germination\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12-18 inches apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSow seeds directly outdoors in fall or early spring, or start indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; do not cover deeply as light aids germination. Keep soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge, which typically takes 14-30 days. For best results, cold stratify seeds for 30 days before sowing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce established, pale evening primrose requires little care. Water sparingly; overly rich or wet soils can cause root rot. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued bloom, or allow seed heads to mature for self-sowing. Divide clumps every 2-3 years to maintain vigor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e100 Oenothera pallida seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67739759477046,"sku":"EDNA-287","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7760342590_rllh.jpg?v=1792115273","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/oenothera-pallida-100-seeds-pale-evening-primrose-white-drought-tolerant-perennial","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
