Common Evening Primrose (Oenothera biennis)

  Known for their lemon-scented, large yellow flowers and vibrant leaves, this easy to grow plant is native to drought-tolerant areas and thrives in a variety of soils. The flowers bloom consistently from early summer until fall, hovering open in the evening and pollinated by night-flying moths and bees in the early morning. Additionally, the seeds serve as a significant source of nutrition for birds.
