Do not let the large pink petals fool you, the Pink Evening Primrose (Oenothera speciosa), is one tough flower, easily grown in many poor soils.

It's a showy spring blooming plant found in the wild and in gardens throughout much of the southern tier of the United States.

These perennials grow up to a foot in height and easily spread their range in any yard or garden by sending out rhizomes. With a modicum of care, they make excellent native garden flowers for USDA Zones 5 - 9.
