Pink Showy Evening Primrose Seeds: Grow Gorgeous Oenothera Speciosa Flowers in Your Garden
This Showy Evening Primrose plant prefers full sun and dry conditions. It often grows on poor, rocky soil, but can tolerate other kinds of soil as well.
To sow Showy Evening Primrose seeds outdoors, prepare weed-free soil and loosen the top 1 - 2 inches. Spread the Primrose seeds and rake them into the soil and pressing them in to make good contact with the soil.
Keep the Showy Evening Primrose seeds moist until germination occurs. When seedlings emerge, thin to strongest plants every 12 -18 inches. Sow Evening Primrose seeds in early spring or late fall.

I do not have an indoor garden so I am waiting until spring to plant. I will try planting closer to Feb or March in small pods watering with spray bottle, and slowly introduce the plants to outdoor conditions.
