This is the Pink Queen in an otherwise rather ordinary, yellow-flowered group--the evening primroses. The famous pastel pink Showy Evening Primrose is a star in the Texas wildflower group. Lady Bird Johnson, herself, calls it her favorite, and tells in her writings how she personally worked at gathering seed and learning its habits. When established, it forms great mats that bloom with a spectacular burst of shimmering color. Sold as a garden perennial.

"Grew well! 1st year, the blooms should be significant enough to photograph next season."
"An indestructible addition to my borders."
"I heard this was an invasive flower, GREAT just what I wanted. I have been so pleased with how quickly these seeds grew and blossomed. I just removed 4 eucalyptus trees from our hillside and the ground was barren. I wanted some instant flowers with a lots of coverage. They are a pretty flower, a great ground cover and a delight to have on my barren hillside!"
"I like this plant to border a rose garden, and for filling in other spots. Having seeds is more economical than buying plants, as they are expensive for this variety. All seeds appear to be viable so far. This review is done, with the expectancy all seeds will grow to bloom. I have previous experience with this variety of plant, and depending on where they are, if they like it, they will generally come back each year."
"Showy Evening Primrose is great for a dry slope. It spreads continuously and vigorously overtime through undergrounds shoots. It doesn't need much water and blooms nicely in May here in East TN. It tends to look a little worn later in the summer, then I usually just use a weedeater to knock it down. It comes back nicely the next year right in spring."
"Germinates well and re-seeds itself. Low-maintenance. Works equally well in bunches by itself or mixed in with other wildflowers."
