The fragrant, shell-pink blooms of this primrose somewhat resemble a buttercup, and are the star of the Texas wildflower group. Once established, these yellow-throated gems form great blankets of shimmering pink blooms, reseeding themselves to bring you beauty for years to come. This prolific wildflower blooms throughout the summer with large and delicate, pale pink blooms. Showy Evening Primrose is unique as it opens its blooms in the cool evening hours, attracting moths and other nocturnal insects. A perfect addition to your moon garden!
