100 Seeds Pale Evening Primrose Oenothera pallida Drought Tolerant Perennial Wildflower

Pale Evening Primrose is a hardy perennial wildflower known for its delicate, cup-shaped blooms that open in the evening and its silvery-green foliage. Native to sandy and rocky soils of western North America, it brings a soft, airy texture to meadow plantings, wildflower gardens, and xeriscapes. The flowers are a pale, luminous white that fades to soft pink as they age, creating a lovely evening display.
Pale Evening Primrose works well in native plant gardens, pollinator-friendly landscapes, and low-water borders. Its trailing habit makes it suitable for rock gardens, slopes, and informal groundcover. Plants prefer full sun and sharp-draining soil, and they tolerate heat and dry conditions once established. Blooms typically appear from late spring through summer, opening in the evening and attracting nighttime pollinators.
