General Profile:
Evening Primrose is a North American native biennial plant. The plants
are very tall, often 4 to 5 feet or more in height. The stem is erect,
stout, soft-hairy, reddish and branching forming a shrub. Leaves are
alternate, rough-hairy, lance late, about 3 to 6 inches long and
lemon-scented. The taproot is elongated, fibrous, yellow on the outside
and whitish within. The flower spikes grow on auxiliary branches all
along the stalk. They are about 2-1/2 inched in diameter, bright yellow
and have four petals, a cross shaped stigma and a refluxed calyx (leaves
under petals). The flowers open in the evening and close up during the
day and are strongly scented with a delicious sweet perfume which
attracts pollinating moths. The fruit is an oblong 1 in. capsule
containing many tiny reddish seeds.
