Showy Evening Primrose 0.25 Oz ~9,647 Seeds – Oenothera speciosa – Tricolor Blooms in Pink, Lavender & Ivory – Perennial Wildflower – Drought-Tolerant – 91–98 Days – Non-GMO – 2nd Year Bloom

Showy Evening Primrose (Oenothera speciosa) is a hardy, heat-loving perennial wildflower that bursts with 2–3 inch blooms in soft shades of pink, lavender, ivory, and yellow. Native to much of the U.S., this rugged flower thrives in full sun and dry, well-drained soil. Reaching 18–24 inches tall, it spreads 12–16 inches wide with a shrubby upright habit, blooming in its second year. Perfect for xeriscaping, borders, and pollinator gardens. Direct sow outdoors after the last frost or start indoors 6–8 weeks early. Press seeds lightly into the soil—do not cover. Ideal for zones 5–9. While tolerant and low-maintenance, Oenothera is known to spread vigorously in favorable conditions. No major pests or diseases. Flowers are edible, but best harvested before blooming due to bitterness. A beautiful and tough garden choice for hot summers.
