Name: Common Evening Primrose

Product Description:
Oenothera biennis is a tall, upright biennial wildflower known for its luminous yellow blooms that open at dusk and fade by morning. Plants form a basal rosette in their first year, then send up a strong, leafy flowering stalk in the second. The fragrant, four‑petaled flowers attract night‑flying pollinators, especially moths. Seed capsules mature into narrow, elongated pods filled with tiny, oil‑rich seeds. Hardy, adaptable, and self‑sowing, this species thrives in disturbed soils, meadows, and naturalized plantings.

A few broken leaves or small stems are normal during shipping and are not considered damage. Broken stems can be rooted once the cut end dries to start new growth. Plants may arrive semi‑dormant, and in winter they may naturally drop a few leaves. If your plant arrives rotting or dead, we will replace it. Please contact us with photo proof within 24 hours of delivery. After 24 hours, plant care becomes the buyer’s responsibility, though we’re always happy to answer questions and help you succeed. We also add brief instructions on getting started when you open your box. We want our plant babies to have happy new homes! 🥰
Heat packs are available to purchase in our shop for cold-sensitive plants.

I won't refund or replace any frozen plants unless you buy one!
