    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    This evening primrose has a strange growth habit. It is prostrate with stems trailing to 6’ long! It forms a rosette of low leaves from which the long-trailing stems grow. The yellow flowers turn rosy-pink as they age. It would make an interesting groundcover would look great in a hanging basket.
