Evening Primrose
Oenothera biennis
Yellow Evening Primrose is a biennial wildflower native to eastern North America, recognized for its tall, upright stems adorned with large, fragrant yellow flowers that open in the evening from June through September.
About Evening Primrose and growing it in Alberta
It thrives in full sun and well-drained, medium soils. Highly attractive to nocturnal pollinators like moths, it enhances naturalized areas and wildflower gardens. Low-maintenance yet prolific, it may self-seed extensively, so occasional management can help control its spread.
