Evening Primrose Plug Plants Oenothera biennis

Common names include sundrop.

Evening Primrose (Oenothera biennis) is a striking biennial that produces large, yellow, cup-shaped flowers that bloom in the evening, filling the air with a pleasant fragrance. Preferring well-drained soils and sunny spots, it thrives in meadows, gardens, and roadside plantings.

This hardy plant is perfect for attracting night pollinators, especially moths, with its nectar-rich flowers. Its bold flowers and attractive seed pods offer beauty throughout the summer and into autumn, making it a great addition to wildlife gardens and natural landscapes.

Our strong, healthy plants are grown in 40cc cell trays and are ready to be planted in their final position.

Sourced from native seed and grown for us in the UK, our plug plants are an ideal way to boost species in a wildflower meadow or to easily establish plants in your garden or in areas where seed germination can be erratic.

We recommend planting 5 plugs per metre square in groups of at least 3 per species for a naturalistic look.
