Description
Evening Primrose is a hardy, biennial flowering plant known for its delicate yellow blooms that open in the evening hours, releasing a sweet fragrance that attracts bees, moths, and butterflies. It’s easy to grow from seed and thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it ideal for cottage gardens, wildflower meadows, borders, and pollinator-friendly landscapes.
In addition to its ornamental value, Evening Primrose is highly valued for its medicinal properties — the seeds are a source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an essential fatty acid used in traditional and modern herbal remedies, particularly for skin health and hormonal balance.
Evening Primrose is drought-tolerant, resilient, and adds a serene, golden touch to any garden — especially in the evening light when its blossoms open wide.
