I know, they have the most wonderful scent! I see them blooming around here sometimes but they are off our property, usually in the ditches. I keep meaning to get some seeds, because I have read that their tuber is very good to eat as a wild food. You might want to post your 'wanted' on the seed exchange forum here. Horizonherbs.com might also sell them, I seem to recall seeing them for sale when I was looking through their catalog.

There are a number of native plant nurseries that specialize in perennials and should have fragrant cultivars; oenothera is the genus name.

I grow o. speciosa, which has beautiful pink flowers but only a slight scent.

Thanx, y'all. I'll check it out ASAP. Hopefully, I'll be able to get some growing this year!

Where and when do seeds from Evening Primrose develop? I found EP at the grocery store, sitting in what I call, the dead cart..think it was .50..Planted, and it pops up every yr..(Now it won't watch..LOL)
Do seeds fall off the plant? If someone tells me when/how it's done, after mine flowers I'll keep an eye out for seed..if anything I can mail for postage..Flowers are yellow, they dote on cool temps..after a few weeks of cool to cold temps, and soil dries, flowers really pop out..Toni
