{"product_id":"evening-primrose-seeds","title":"Evening Primrose Seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003eEvening primrose (Oenothera biennis) is a striking plant known for its delicate yet showy yellow blooms. While many appreciate its ornamental appeal, it's also seen by some as an invasive weed due to its vigorous growth. This North American native thrives when planted in late fall, growing rapidly and eventually blooming each summer from its second year onward. Its fragrant, four-petaled flowers sit atop leafy, branched stems, adding a charming touch to any garden. Perfect for gardeners seeking low-maintenance colour, evening primrose establishes quickly in full sun and well-cultivated soil. Direct sow seeds in autumn, allowing natural stratification to trigger germination. Seedlings emerge in spring and develop into a leafy rosette during year one. By summer of the second year, tall flower stems emerge with branching secondary growth, producing abundant 1-inch blooms that attract pollinators and wildlife. Once flowers fade, seeds self-distribute naturally, creating a self-sustaining display year after year. Ideal for cottage gardens, wildflower borders, and naturalistic landscapes where its vigorous growth habit is an asset rather than a concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\" id=\"mntl-sc-block_38-0\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to grow:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block\" id=\"mntl-sc-block_39-0\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow your evening primrose seeds in autumn directly into full sun and well-prepared soil—they love it! Pop the seeds right on top of the soil and give them a good water. Once they sprout, thin them out to about 15cm apart so they've got room to grow. Want to start indoors? No worries! Use a small container with moistened seed-starting mix, scatter your seeds on top, cover it up, and pop it in the fridge to give them that natural winter chill they crave. Pull them out in late winter and pot them up once they've got two sets of true leaves. Here's the fun part—year one is all about patience. Your seedlings will just hang out as a leafy rosette at ground level, building their roots and getting ready for the show. Come year two, watch as tall, sturdy flower stems shoot up with branching secondary growth. By early summer, you'll be rewarded with gorgeous four-petaled blooms that'll keep coming all season long. Once the flowers fade and drop their seeds, nature takes over. Wind, rain, and hungry birds spread those seeds around your garden, creating a self-sustaining display that comes back year after year. It's the gift that keeps on giving!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(Not to WA)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContains 250 seeds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNote :  Plantlifeangel sources all of their seeds in small local batches were possible to ensure seeds are at their maximum viability for germination.
