MISSOURI (Dwarf) EVENING PRIMROSE A great little blooming perennial that has big yellow flowers. Also known as Ozark Sundrops. This is a hard-working plant. Easy to grow from seed. Will start blooming 8-10 weeks after sprouting. Full sun or partial sun. Not real picky about soils. Doesn't do well in extended soggy conditions. This is a long lived, tough as nails plant that has a extensive root system making it very drought tolerant and a excellent choice for erosion control. Only gets about 12" tall but spreads out sideways via the root system. This strain of primrose also does well in containers. Blooms continuously from early summer through fall. The flowers are short lived, so they don't make very good cut flowers. Pretty much a carefree plant after established. Light water if no rain and a little fertilizer. 200+ Quality seeds. Thank You!
