OENOTHERA lamarckiana (Common Evening Primrose)
A cultivation of these luminous golden flowers will give off a special evening glow. The heat of the midday sun wilts the day's blossoms, but fresh ones bloom in the evening. This wildflower is simple to cultivate. This flower is thought to have originated in Mexico or Central America, according to historians. Primrose Evening is a fine plant for a meadow or an ornamental garden.
