Common Evening Primrose is an easy to grow native wildflower, perfect for that corner of your outdoor garden that is giving you trouble. It is a useful choice for the survival garden as an edible plant, medicinal herb, and beneficial native wildflower.
Not to be confused with the pink perennial evening primrose (pinkladies) that grow low to the ground, this biennial plant sends up a tall spike of yellow flowers that fully open in the evening and emit a sweet fragrance. In addition to being a reliable source of food for many bee, butterfly, bird, hummingbird, and night pollinator species, it is also the host plant for the Primrose moth.
- North American Native Wildflower - Common Evening primrose (Oenothera biennis) is a biennial forb with a range from southern Florida and Texas to Canada. This adaptable wildflower has a reputation as a weed because it grows in poor soils and many conditions. Named for its fragrant yellow flowers that unfurl shortly before sunset, this hardy plant self-seeds easily and will come back year after year.
- Versatile Uses - All parts of the Common Evening Primrose plant were traditionally used by Native American tribes for food and medicinal purposes. The roots, shoots, leaves, and seeds are all edible. As a medicinal herb, Evening Primrose is often used to in women's health, skin care, and as an anti-inflammatory. In the garden, its nectar, pollen, and seeds attract hummingbirds, bees, birds, butterflies, and moths.

What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?
What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?
Our seeds will generally last for 3-10 years if they are appropriately stored in a cool, dry place. However, we encourage you to grow your survival seeds within a year or two of purchase. This yields the best germination rates possible and also gives you more experience growing survival food now. At the end of the growing season, follow the instructions on the back of each packet for saving seeds for future gardens. These new seeds for survival will be more adapted to thrive in the growing conditions where you are.
