Narrowleaf Evening Primrose shines in the garden with sunny yellow flowers. In early summer, the flowers begin to open, the red buds of unopened flower buds standing out over clusters of large yellow blooms. Narrowleaf Evening Primrose is a long bloomer, flowering for several weeks. In ideal conditions, this plant may spread aggressively. Divide and remove unwanted seedlings to control its spread.
