Commonly known as Evening Primrose, this plant is native to the south-central United States and northern Mexico region. Growing at a fast rate, this plant can reach an average mature landscape size of 6-8″ x 12-15″. As a repeat bloomer, summer welcomes waves of saucer-shaped, 2″ wide pink flowers. Since it blooms during the night, it’s attractive to moths as well as butterflies. Plant in full sun and well-draining soil. This plant is both cold-hardy and drought tolerant and can be left to spread on its own. Prune back in the early spring if desired to control excessive growth. Works well when planted as a groundcover to fill bare spaces or areas difficult to water regularly. An excellent option when planted on slopes and left to fill out the area on its own.
