The evening primrose or yellow sundrops is a beautiful NE American native. There are two native species in Vermont. O. Biennis is fairly common with flowers that open in the evening. And O. Perennis with flowers that open in the day. The foliage is dark green and tidy right down to the ground making it a nice border plant. It likes a sunny, well drained spot and is fairly drought tolerant. As an added bonus the round, narrow leaves turn reddish-orange in the fall. Best given room as it can overwhelm less vigorous perennials or restrict its growing space.
O. macrocarpa ‘Evening Sun’ - A southeast native. Yellow blooms from a red bud. Open during the day. Flowers July and August. Vigorous.
Sold in deep 6” pots. Well established.
