Evening Primrose is a graceful biennial herb grown for its fragrant, lemon-scented yellow flowers that unfurl at dusk, attracting moths and other evening pollinators. Reaching up to 1.5 m tall, it forms an attractive rosette of leaves in its first year before sending up tall flowering stems the following season, making it a beautiful addition to cottage gardens, wildflower plantings and edible landscapes.
The entire plant is edible. Young leaves can be enjoyed fresh or cooked, while the bright flowers add colour and a mild flavour to salads.
Approximately 1,200 seeds per gram
Approximately 400 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: April to July
Subtropics: March to May and August to October
Mild climates: March to May and September to November
Cold climates: September to November
Planting / Sowing
Surface sow or lightly cover seed with 2–3 mm of fine seed-raising mix in a sunny, well-drained position. Keep the soil evenly moist until germination. Thin or transplant seedlings to 40–50 cm apart. Plants establish as leafy rosettes before flowering in their second season. Allow some flowers to set seed if you would like plants to self-sow.

FLOWER SEEDS WITH EDEN
Flower seeds: As fellow gardening enthusiasts we share the love for planting and nurturing our own flowers in addition to our veggie gardens. Our carefully selected range of flower seeds, available for convenient online purchase, holds a special place in our hearts. Like the endangered vegetables we've championed, these flower varieties face the risk of vanishing forever. Some of these older strains are incredibly rare, and it's a source of immense pride for us to offer and deliver these precious flower seeds Australia-wide.
