Thank you Tina, for finding this large (4”+) flowered pure yellow Evening Primrose with a trick up its sleeve. Weedy looking during the day (it is best to site it with shorter flowers in front to hide its awkwardness), it sheds its common look when it literally bursts into bloom in the evening hours. The star of many a nighttime garden party, attracting revelers and also night flying pollinators, the flowers pop open in under a minute from tightly furled buds. Sow two years in succession for a yearly show and be sure to deadhead to prevent self sowing of off-types.
