What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Showy Evening Primrose Seeds (Oenothera speciosa) grow into a beautiful, spreading native perennial known for its vibrant pink, poppy-like flowers. Commonly called Pink Ladies, buttercups, or Mexican primrose, this North American wildflower is valued for its long bloom season, adaptability, and ability to thrive with minimal care.

Well suited to full sun or partial shade, Showy Evening Primrose performs reliably even in poor or dry soils. Its deer-resistant nature makes it an excellent choice for gardens in areas with heavy wildlife pressure. Once established, it forms an attractive ground-level display that adds continuous color while supporting pollinators throughout the growing season.

Vibrant Native Perennial with Long Bloom Time:

  • Large pink, poppy-like flowers
  • Extended flowering season
  • Spreading growth habit ideal for naturalized areas

Adaptable and Low Maintenance:

  • Thrives in full sun to partial shade
  • Performs well in poor or low-fertility soils
  • Deer resistant and easy to grow

Why Gardeners Love Showy Evening Primrose:

  • Reliable perennial color year after year
  • Popular roadside and wildflower garden plant
  • Attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds
  • Adds bright, cheerful color with minimal upkeep

How to Grow Showy Evening Primrose:
Sow seeds outdoors in spring or fall, lightly covering them with soil. Plant in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil. Water during establishment, then reduce supplemental watering once plants are established. Allow room for spreading growth, especially in naturalized plantings.
