Grow your own Common Evening Primrose (Oenothera biennis) with these full sun heirloom flower seeds. All parts of this plant were traditionally used by Native American tribes for food and medicinal purposes. Not to be confused with the pink perennial evening primrose (pinkladies) that grow low to the ground, this biennial plant sends up a tall spike of yellow flowers that fully open in the evening and emit a sweet fragrance. This drought-tolerant herb is easy to grow in poor soil conditions and is perfect for that corner of your outdoor garden that is giving you trouble. This pollinator friendly wildflower brings a host of beneficial wildlife and pollinators to your yard. In addition to being a reliable source of food for many bee, butterfly, bird, hummingbird, and night pollinator species, it is also the host plant for the Primrose moth.
