Fragrant Evening Primrose (Oenothera caespitosa)
The Fragrant Evening Primrose's (Oenothera caespitosa) white and pink blooms open up in the evening and close the following morning, attracting night pollinators like the hawk moth with their sweet scent. This low-growing perennial needs sun, but low water once established, making it a great addition to a waterwise native plant garden. Direct sow outdoors in late Fall / early Winter by pressing seeds into the surface of the soil. Seeds need cold stratification to germinate. Minimum 1/8 tsp of seeds included.
