{"product_id":"common-evening-primrose-oenothera-biennis","title":"Common Evening Primrose (Oenothera biennis)","description":"\u003cp\u003eCommon Evening Primrose is a versatile and hardy biennial that brings a touch of twilight magic to the native garden. True to its name, this wildflower opens its bright lemon-yellow, four-petaled blossoms in the late afternoon or evening, releasing a subtle fragrance that attracts nocturnal pollinators like Sphinx moths. In its first year, it forms a low-growing rosette of leaves, followed in the second year by a sturdy, often purple-tinged stalk that can reach 3 to 6 feet in height. The blooming period is exceptionally long, frequently stretching from June through the first frosts of autumn. Native to nearly all of North America, it is a pioneer species that adapts easily to disturbed sites, roadsides, and prairies with medium-wet to dry soils. Beyond its beauty, the seeds are a vital winter food source for goldfinches and other small birds. It is incredibly easy to grow from seed and will readily naturalize in sunny spots, offering consistent color and high ecological value to any wildflower meadow or garden border.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQuick facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3–6 ft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSun:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full to Partial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil moisture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium-Wet to Dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jun–Nov (Yellow)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLife cycle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Biennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Biennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNative range:\u003c\/strong\u003e Native to 44 states, including Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/database.hokseynativeseeds.com\/species\/oenothera-biennis\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSee the full growing guide and county range map for Common Evening Primrose\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hoksey Native Seeds","offers":[{"title":"1 oz","offer_id":50926593802437,"sku":null,"price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/4 lb","offer_id":50926593835205,"sku":null,"price":31.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/2 lb","offer_id":50926593867973,"sku":null,"price":61.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 lb","offer_id":50926593900741,"sku":null,"price":119.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/6567\/1365\/files\/cm_primrose1.jpg?v=1793724244","url":"https:\/\/hokseynativeseeds.com\/products\/common-evening-primrose-oenothera-biennis","provider":"Hoksey Native Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
