EVENING PRIMROSE SEED, 500 Seeds, 100% Pure

PLANTING INFORMATION   PERENNIAL

Sow seeds in either spring or autumn. If sowing in autumn pot up young herb plants and over-winter in a cold fame or unheated greenhouse before planting out. Evening primrose is an easy herb to grow from seed. It will self seed in the right conditions so ensure that you dead head plants once the flowers have finished if you wish to avoid this.

Evening Primrose flowers only bloom every other year. It's leaves form a circle surrounding the stem during the first year. Buds reveal large, yellow flowers at dusk, or on overcast days, from June to September. 

Primroses can also be grown from seeds with an equal mixture of soil, sand and peat moss. This can be done indoors or out depending on the time of year and the climate in your area. Generally, seeds are sown indoors (outdoors in cold frame) during winter. Once seedlings have obtained their second or third leaves, they can be transplanted into the garden. 

Types of seeds

Seeds are classified according to their bloom frequency, life span, and type of flower produced.

Annual seeds, once planted, have a life span of one year.

That means that they need to be replanted each year. Some annuals can reseed themselvesin warmer climates. Examples of flowers that have annual seeds are Alyssum, marigolds, poppies, nasturtiums, zinnias, and morning glories.

Perennials only need be planted once, as flowers come back year after year. Most types of perennial seeds tend to be more expensive because of this. Examples of perennials include Black Eyed Susan, Hollyhocks, and Shasta Daisies.

Biennials have a life span of two years. Typically, these flowers will grow during the first year and bloom in the second year. Examples include Forget-Me-Nots, Evening Primrose, and Sweet William.
