Bloom Time, Colors, and Longevity of Evening Primrose

Flowering usually begins in early summer and lasts weeks at a time. The flowers open their yellow spires in the evening, creating an extravagant display in the diminishing light. Although the color will typically be a bright yellow, the flower’s feathery centers and stamens add a sense of drama. The foliage persists after the flowering period and keeps the plant green throughout the growing season, adding texture and color.

This Is How Your Plants Will Look upon Delivery

Planting bare-root perennials is best in any season if they are dormant; we only sell dormant plants. Planting them year-round is also excellent if you can get dormant perennials. When your bare-root perennials arrive, soak the roots in water for a few hours to rehydrate them. Lant by digging a hole wide enough to spread the roots comfortably and deep enough to place the top portion crown (where the roots meet the stem) at or slightly above ground level. Position the plant in the hole, backfill with native soil, and gently firm the soil around the roots—water well after planting to settle the soil around the plant and eliminate air. Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch to keep weeds at bay and moisture locked in, keeping the mulch away from the crown. Irrigate plants regularly during the first few weeks of drought; never water in full sun, and water late in the evenings to ensure the roots are established well. Fertilize sparingly in the first year, using a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in subsequent years as needed.
