gardening info-evening prmrose

Here are some Evening Primroses that were potted up today,the root is biennial.The first year many obtuse leaves are produced which spread flat on the ground,from amongst these stems arise to a height of 3-4feet.The flowers are produced all along the stems the uppermost come out first in June. As the stem keep growing there is a constant succession of flowers until late Autumn.The large bright yellow,fragrant flowers are fertilized by twilight flying insects especially in the early season later on the plants keep "open house" all day
