Evening Primrose

Known for attracting bees and pollinators, easy maintenance, and rapid growth, this fragrant flower suits containers, landscaping, and xeriscaping. Cold and drought-tolerant and deer and rabbit resistant. Native to North America, it's best sown in late fall, blooming each summer from its second year. Fragrant, lemon-scented yellow flowers bloom atop leafy stems.

The Brief and Glorious History of the Purple Peas

Shakespeare fancied evening primrose, slipping it into his plays, while Suzanne Collins gave Katniss's sis a flowery name in "The Hunger Games". "Primrose" means "first rose", yet it's no rose at all! Both Europeans and Native Americans banked on its medicinal charm, from healing wounds to tackling the pesky hemorrhoids!
