Yellow Common Evening Primrose Seeds | Non-GMO Native Wildflower

Yellow Common Evening Primrose (Oenothera lamarckiana) is a stunning native North American wildflower known for its canary-yellow blooms that open in the cool evening hours. This fast-growing annual produces tall, sturdy stalks topped with glowing flowers that attract moths, bees, and other pollinators, bringing life to your garden after sunset.

Evening Primrose is more than just beautiful—it’s edible and traditionally valued. Leaves can be cooked like greens, roots prepared similarly to potatoes, and flowers used as a delicate edible garnish. Highly drought tolerant once established, this wildflower thrives in dry, open spaces, making it perfect for meadows, borders, containers, and low-maintenance landscapes.
