Evening Primrose - Heirloom Seeds - Medicinal Flower (Oenothera Lamarckiana)
Evening Primrose is an annual wildflower with a fairly short bloom period. Its flowers may be seen in May and June, with the peak being mid-May.
They prefer a sunny area with well-drained soil. They are liberal self-sowers, spreading their own flower seed, so after they are done blooming.
Evening Primrose is easily propagated from flower seed, and it does wonder when planted in a meadow or along a fence line.
