10 Seeds Showy Primrose Oenothera speciosa Pink Evening Primrose Perennial Ground Cover Flower

Showy Primrose is a low-growing perennial that produces cup-shaped pink flowers through the warmer months. It is a popular choice for borders, rock gardens, and meadow-style plantings where it spreads to form a soft flowering carpet.

The blooms open in the evening and remain open through the morning, adding color over a long season. Plants spread by runners to fill bare ground and pair well with other drought-tolerant perennials. Suitable for container growing, edging, and naturalized areas where a spreading habit is desired.
