The Beautiful Evening Primrose

Evening Primrose, another name for Oenothera biennis, is a biennial flowering plant native to North America but can now be found in other parts of the world. It is a member of the Onagraceae family and is also commonly referred to as "sundrops" or "king's cure-all." The plant grows six feet tall and produces beautiful yellow flowers that bloom at night. The four-petaled flowers have a sweet fragrance that attracts moths for pollination.

Uses Of Evening Primrose

It has a long history of medicinal and therapeutic use. Native American tribes used the plant to treat various ailments, including gastrointestinal problems, respiratory infections, and skin conditions. The plant contains high levels of gamma-linolenic acid (G.L.A.), an essential fatty acid for healthy skin, hair, and nails. G.L.A. is also believed to help reduce inflammation and regulate hormone levels, making it a popular natural remedy for premenstrual syndrome (P.M.S.) and menopause symptoms. The oil is taken from the plant's seeds and is widely used as a dietary supplement. The oil contains omega-6 fatty acids essential for maintaining healthy skin and hair. The oil effectively reduces the severity of acne, eczema, and other skin conditions. It is also considered an anti-inflammatory, potentially treating rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory diseases. In addition to its medicinal properties, it is used in cosmetics and skincare products. The oil is a popular ingredient in anti-aging creams and serums, as it is believed to help prevent the appearance of lines and wrinkles. It is also used in hair care products to improve the strength and texture of hair.

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.
