What's Blooming in April? Mexican Evening Primrose


Mexican Evening Primrose.  Oenothera berlandii. These lovely flowers bloom quietly under the roses.

It grows easily and reseeds itself.  Warning:  This translates to "The plant may take over."  But it is also a plant that's easy to share with friends. That's how I got mine.  It was a gift from my brother-in-law and it made itself at home in our yard.  I'm always happy to share with you!

These flowers grow long and leggy, then falls over.  Since it grows right next to my sidewalk so  it grows over the sidewalk to trip me. I suppose I should keep it cut back. It should grow bushier and more healthy.
